London, England 007


My first plane ride was on this trip.
Oh my! We look like babies!

 Windsor Castle
This was our first stop after getting off the plane
and man were we tired. That ride my eyes kept slipping shut
and I kept wrenching the open again, and again!

 The Queen was at Windsor celebrating her birthday while we were there.
We couldn't go in some places because of that, but it was cool to think we were so close!

 Later that night, (Saturday, our first night there) 
we went to see the London Eye.
Amazing!

 Our view from the Eye.
 Cool huh?
 
 The Tower Bridge (not to be confused with London Bridge)

 Siblings at the Tower of London on Sunday afternoon.
Btw... the marathon was taking place this afternoon.
TALK about traffic! I think one of our coach drivers 
even got a ticket that day while letting us off somewhere.
 The Crown Jewels were right through this door!

Another part of the tower.


St. Paul's Cathedral
Where we gave a noontime a cappella concert on Monday.
The sound just wafted around long after we finished singing.
A once-in-a-lifetime experience for sure!

There is a brief overview of our three days in London.

FILM *gasp*
I know, unbelievable right?
Well, our trip certainly was!
