I know I have posted about London before, but I have to say that London is one really cool city. We have been there three times now since we have lived here and I was there one time with hubby, pre-kids. I love that city. And of course, you have to see the main sites over and over again...it is just not a good trip to London if you don't see Big Ben, Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square and various other places. This time, since we were showing Papa and Ganny the sights of the city - we took the double-decker bus tour and actually stayed on for most of the tour. Normally we jump on and off and never really go through the whole tour. This time it was great to sit and listen to the facts that the tour guide spouts off. It also created necessary downtime from a morning filled with walking and Bean even fell asleep on the top level on the bus. After the bus tour we went through the Tower of London and saw the Crown Jewels again. You can just never see these kind of precious gems enough - we all loved it. Then today thoroughly exhausted but ready for more, we went to the Cabinet War Rooms. What we thought would be a one hour tour turned into two as they have added a Winston Churchill museum to the war rooms. We could have spent even more time there, but it was lunch time and we had two impatient kids with us and limited time due to our train schedule. We also had lunch at Chipotle both days for a little of an American favorite. Yes, London is great, no matter how many times you are there. We already can't wait to go back!
