English Again

T-man was especially excited that we were in a country where they spoke English again. We arrived in London around 1:00 on the Eurostar and were able to walk to our Airbnb in about 20 minutes. The train was great as it was city center to city center. After lunch here and some down time, we headed out to the explore. 

Our first stop was Big Ben which we didn’t even recognize when we got off the tube as it was under construction. Bummer! But we saw parliament, the London Eye, and Westminster Abbey before enjoying a walk (and ice cream and coffee) in the park on our way to Buckingham Palace. We then walked to Trafalgar Square, walked on the Strand and I showed the boys where I worked (not really that interesting to them). Oh well! We walked up to Covent Gardens, Leicester Square and then grabbed some quick dinner. 

We got on the tube to make a stop at Waterloo station to send a picture Marshall to wish him good luck at trivia tonight at Waterloo. We stopped at the grocery store on the way home and got to bed early (10:30) by our standards.

Collecting coins to make the shield kept T-man entertained today - we need one more!
