As Jessica was leaving her suburban home in Topeka, her husband John asked, “Where are you going, Babe?”

“London. I have wanted to ride the London Eye for years. So I’ve decided to go ahead and do it.”

“You’re going all the way to England to ride a Ferris wheel?”

“Well, I thought I would drop by Paul McCartney’s and have tea also.”

“Sounds delightful. Anything else?”

“Mick Jagger invited me to a Rolling Stones practice. That sounds fun.”

“No doubt. I see you are taking grocery bags.”

“I thought I would do some shopping also.”

“Get some ice cream.”

Based on the Centina Pentina prompt: Write a 50 or 100 word story about a Ferris wheel.
