our final stop on this vacation - london baby! i was so looking forward to this city, and had a wonderful time. we were here for 4 days before flying back home after 23 total days of vacation!
and yes, we really did use one of the famouse red telephone booths...
i have always wanted to do one of these pictures.. i think i mixed them up, but you get the idea!
ok, to me it looks like this squirrel was photoshopped in, but i promise he wasn't lol
buckingham palace...
the london eye... it takes 1/2 hour to go around one whole time! it was really amazing getting to see the whole city from up above like that.
there was a 3D video to watch before we boarded...
we used the subway (or as they call it the underground) for most of our transportation. here are the kids "monkeying around"
some of the more modern buildings...
tower bridge...
the h.m.s. belfast - an old war vessel...
they had mannequins set up to show some of the things on the ship. sorry for the bad color, it was weird lighting! but i couldn't resist putting these pics in cuz they crack me up.
we didn't actually get to go inside the benjamin franklin house because the timing for the tours never worked out for us, but it was still cool to see this landmark
kensington palace...
we even got to go ice skating! this was the first time the kids have done this. it took them awhile, but all three of them eventually got brave enough to try it out without holding onto mine or kevin's hand or the sides...
tower of london...
ok, i would really like to know whose bright idea THIS was! (the name kevin actually rings a bell...? unfortunately i can't prove it! ha ha
ok, can someone tell me what is WRONG with my child?!!!
AND my husband?! hee hee
"puttin on the ritz"...
my new screensaver! lol
don't even ask...
just proving i was really here! lol
that's all for our family vacation in europe. our next planned big vacation won't be for three years, but i am already excited - australia!!!
