A weekend in London

Our trip to London was amazing. We did so much in such little time!!

We took a ferry across the English Channel and saw the White Cliffs of Dover!

We also rode the train, the “Tube” and a big double decker red bus.

We arrived in Victoria’s station and then walked to Buckingham Palace.

We walked St James Park.

We walked Trafalger Square, saw Nelson's Column, Piccadilly Circus, and Leicester Square.

We rode the London Eye, saw Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and WestMinster Abbey.

We went to the Tower of London, saw the crown jewels, Henry XIII's full body and horse armor, and the Tower Bridge.

We saw Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty’s Theatre.

We walked Regency Park and went to the London Zoo.

We ate fish and chips! And had a scone!

The highlights had to be St James Park where we fed the squirrels, the Tower of London, and Phantom!


What was so amazing to us… the public transportation! And so many beautiful parks!!

If you ever get a chance to go!! Do!! It is a wonderful place to visit!!


On our way home this was the sun setting over the Mosel River... and

PS... Mary qualified and is going to European Cross Country Championships for KHS.

We loved our week in London; it was February but the weather was so darn cooperative for us. We rented a flat since otherwise it was cost prohibitive

yes, we had unbelievable weather as well! Sunshine and 65. We stayed in a Travelodge about an hour out of the city which pretty reasonable. And the train into London very relaxing and easy. The kids loved it.

I just realized last night when Madeleine and I were talking, that Mary was not on this trip. Guess she was busy that weekend plus she had already been to London with Grandma
