London calling

This weekend we took a quick trip under the channel to visit London. This was the kid’s first time. The thing about London is that there just so much to see! It made for a busy weekend. 

The Tower of London was first on the list. It’s a crazy little time warp in the middle of a modern city. And, of course the ravens stole the show. 

Then it was off to the biggest bookstore in Europe. Over 16kms of book shelves! After dinner and a rest it was show time. We took in a showing of Matilda. The kids all loved it and were transported away by the show. (Even those who complained about having to go)

The next day was a slow start after a late night but we managed to fit in quite a bit. Platform 9 3/4 was first stop. Sammy and Emmy grabbed their photo op. 

Then we grabbed a double decker bus down to Westminster to see Big Ben ( which was unfortunately under scaffolding). Lunch in a pub then it was off to the British museum. There was so much to see! In two hours we only managed to see each person’s one top pick.
