Warner Bros Studio Tour London
I’m letting the kids take over today. Here’s Halle:Josh: Blake:
Punting in Cambridge
We took a train from Kings Cross to Cambridge. We love the trains! We especially love when we get the seats with a table so the kids can work on their puzzles.It was lunch time when we got there but we didn’t want to deal with finding food so we just grabbed some stuff at…
London Museum of Natural History and Feeding the Parakeets
Today turned into such a fun day! I thought we’d just go spend a couple hours at the museum and then call it a day. Turns out we had a twisty turney adventure. It started at the Museum of Nature and Science. As usual, on the train ride over, the boys grabbed a free newspaper…
Father’s Day in London
Happy Father’s Day to Rusty! The day started with almond croissants from Gail’s, fresh British strawberries, and his favorite protein shake. We got him a biscuit with a badge that said “best dad” but then dad licked the frosting and changed it to “butt dad.” In honor of Josh, and how much he loves cheese…
London Science Museum and West End Live
We took a trip to the Science Museum. It was pretty fun. The museum is free to enter, but then all the fun stuff to do costs money. Of course. Hands down, our favorite things was the Flight 360. It was a flight simulator that could spin in complete circles. We had a blast flying…
Harry Potter Walking Tour and the Thames Monsta
I found a Harry Potter Walking Tour we could take using our Chase credit card points. So we booked! We met at the Palace Theater where The Cursed Child is playing on the West End. I have tried to get tickets since January and haven’t succeeded yet. Keeping my fingers crossed. We all got sorted…
Touring Wimbledon
Josh has been so excited for Wimbledon. He has been talking about it non-stop since we left the French open. We were going to tour Wimbledon as a family when we got our London pass, but it was too close to the tournament so they weren’t doing any more tours. So Josh and I decided…
Princess Diana Memorial
After a nice lazy morning, we made our way to Hyde Park. We took a bus from Victoria. I’ve never seen so many busses in one place before! On the bus we tore a Sudoku puzzle out of the newspaper and passed the time trying to solve it. The paper boats kept disintegrating, so the…
Legoland Windsor
Cool weather, ZERO lines. It was a great day for Legoland! We took a Train from Clapham Junction to Windor, then a bus to Legoland. The bus dropped us at the bottom of a giant hill. This is how Josh felt about it: London made of Legos! Windsor Castle complete with a tiny Harry and…
Hampstead Heath
It was a rare bright and sunny day on Monday and we wanted to take advantage of the beautiful weather. We landed on Hampstead Heath. And it was glorious. But, it was quite the morning leading up to it. Rusty and I went to yoga and then stopped a Lidls on the way home to…
