So... I spent last week in Holland with my psychology program and I had a GREAT time! But, I will save my Holland pictures and stories for another time because for the past few days I have been exploring London with my mother and Auntie Jill. I have thoroughly enjoyed spending time with them (and keeping them in line). For this blog I have asked (told) them to take over my job and tell you a little bit about our adventures.
Mother/Auntie's European Adventures Part 1
We have become very good at following rules (orders)! As you can see London Bridge has not fallen down. This picture was taken on a cruise of the River Thames. On our first full day together we took a tour called the "Magic of London", which included a private tour of the Tower of London, Cream Tea at Harrods, Changing of the Guards at Buckingham Palace and a tour of St. Paul's Cathedral.
This is a picture of us at Buckingham Palace right before the official changing of the guards.
On our second day we went back and spent more time at some of the wonderful places we visited only briefly on our tour. This is a picture of Kelly and Aunt Jill between Covent Garden Market and Trafalgar Square. Covent Garden is a large open air market that was filled with people, performers and many wonderful sights and sounds. Aunt Jillie bought a hand made sweater from a woman named Zara. After walking for miles and miles we went in search of our new favorite - Cream Tea.
After our tea, we crossed the River Thames via Jubilee Walkway where we could see Big Ben all illuminated. We passed by the London Eye, which is the ferris wheel like structure in the background of the picture. Today we will go back to this area and take a "flight" on the London Eye (Kelly's making us do it)! Then, we will search out a new Cream Tea location before we head to our "cultural night".
Cultural Night
Weeks ago Kelly arranged to take us to see the London Production of WICKED!, which is London's #1 production. We are surely the luckiest mommy and auntie on the entire continent.
Tomorrow we head to Dublin - stay tuned for the next edition of Mommy/Auntie's European Adventures.
