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…
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…
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…
After 10 INTENSE days of travel, we were ready for a break! We said goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa and Nat and Michael after our bus tour on Friday night. Their flight was Saturday afternoon. We are sad to see them go! Saturday Rusty and I went and signed up for our month of Yoga…
Papa brought us Cronuts to Tower of London. They were Lemon flavored. I think the cronut has lost its magic. it was good, but not great. Our favorite parts were the weapons room and the Crown Jewels. The kids love the legend of the Ravens. As long as the ravens stay at the Tower, it…
We splurged on a tour to Windsor, Stonehenge and Bath because we thought it would save us a lot of time and hassle in seeing these three places. Well…that wasn’t exactly the case. We had the meanest tour guide EVER and we were rushed through every single site. It started in Windsor. The tour had left…
Our day began at St Paul’s Cathedral. It’s such a beautiful building! But we had quite the adventure to get there. We took the train form Clapham Junction and then needed to transfer to the Underground at Victoria Station. Well–Victoria was too congested so they closed the gates and we were all trapped like cattle!…
Happy 38th birthday Rusty! He woke up in Rome, and went to sleep in London! After 48 whirlwind hours in Rome it was time to head to London. We flew out of Fuimicino airport. What a beautiful airport! And don’t the boys look like they could pose for an Android ad? We arrived in Gatwick…
Rusty here. Our apartment was right in the middle of the beginning of the more residential area of Rome. Just east of the Colosseum and a fair ways east of the old downtown area. Our apartment was far better than our Paris apartment, but it was quite strange. It was one corridor with a 90…
Monday morning we got up kind of early because we wanted to eat at Campo di’Fiori Market before we went over to Vatican City. Our third country of the trip 🙂 We took the bus, the very packed bus, which means we started our day on our feet – and would pretty much stay on…
