Hangin' Around London

After our whirlwind Asian adventure, we spent almost 2 weeks enjoying London.  During this time, my parents came for a visit and Caitlyn loved showing Grammy and Poppy her favorite places.  One day we went to Portobello Road Market and the Princess Diana Memorial Playground.  Josh, Caitlyn, and I went to the London Zoo another day.  Grammy and Poppy took Caitlyn to the Science Museum so Josh and I could go see a show (Lion King).  We enjoyed a delicious meal at Rabot 1745, a restaurant that has cocoa in every dish.  Caitlyn thought it was hilarious that she ate chocolate pasta for dinner!  On the last day with the grandparents we went to the Bevis Marks Synagogue, lunch at a pub, and then the Museum of Childhood.  All in all, we had a great time exploring London with my parents.  Unfortunately most of the pictures of my parents visit is on their camera (hint - I need the pictures Mom and Dad!).

Caitlyn loved the lemurs.

And when our ride was done, she said that she wanted to go with Daddy too.

Much of Harry Potter was filmed around London.  This is at Kings Cross Station so you can take a picture pushing Harry's cart through the wall.

After Grammy and Poppy went back to the States, we continued our London sightseeing.  After almost 3 months in London we hadn't been to the Changing of the Guards.  So, off we went on a beautifully clear day to watch the guards.  Caitlyn really liked the funny hats!

I'm still trying to catch up on our adventures for the blog.  Our next visit - Seville, Spain (with a surprise visit you'll have to wait to see!)
