Hello from London!! Can you imagine mom and grandma waving? Here they are near Buckingham Palace on Friday. This was before getting all worn out! We crammed a lot into Friday... Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Liecester Square, had dinner at All Bar One, went to a show "Wait Until Dark" then wen home. Whew!! Saturday was a bit more if you can believe it!! Grandma opted to stay home and recoop, so mom and I set off on our own; however, we didn't get to leave until 12 as they both slept in until 11am!!! Mom and I went to London Bridge station, then walked...... to Tower Bridge, Tower of London, the Monument (everyone keeps asking me what this is, it is a tall round monument that has gold flames at the top. It is 202 feet high and if you lay it on end, it will touch the place where the bakery was that started the Great London Fire. Anyway, you can climb all 311 steps to the top and then you have a wonderful view. I highly recommend this!)... we then took the tube to Covent Gardens. There was a huge food fair going on so we had a lot of fun trying all the different breads, cheeses, jams, etc... we were than just in time to catch the beginning of a street performers act. Mom and I then went to Picadilly Circus and then walked to Oxford Street. (On the way to Oxford street we accidentally took the long route and went through Soho and some rather unsavory alleys.....)
Sunday was all about St Pauls and Harrods, what else goes together like religion and shopping? Isn't shopping a form of religion?

Monday and Tuesday were Bath and they were wonderful. The weather tried very hard to be good for us and only really rained as we were driving home (Yay, my second time driving and still no deaths!!)
Anyways, here are all the pictures, I hope you enjoy them!
