The things we wanted to do this time but didn't get to:
Guess we'll have to return someday!
Highlights of London for this trip:
The kids were super travelers. They came up with some novel ways to amuse themselves. My favorite was the Bus Game, where you chose an ad on the side of a double-decker bus and then got points for how many of those you spotted as we walked all over London. The down side of the game was that the kids would have not noticed a marching band because they were so focused on bus ads. (Winner: R.I.P.D. movie ad.)
- The British Museum (since the galleries were closed when we saw the Pompeii exhibit)
- The V&A Museum
- The Tate Modern
- Walk onto the Tower Bridge and see its exhibits
- Hampton Court Palace
- The Banqueting House (walked there but it was closed for staging a new exhibit)
- Shakespeare's Globe
- The Golden Hinde
- The Queen's Gallery
Guess we'll have to return someday!
