Oh, the Places You'll Go

Our short time here has been spent exposing our children to the rich history, unique culture, amazing architecture, and beautiful sights and sounds of jolly London. We were also looking for any excuse that we could find to get the heck out of dodge! The more that we could be out of the house the better. It was that bad!

Here are some highlights so far . . .

Here we are standing in the middle of Sloane Square. This is the very day that we arrived in London. We were on our way to find a black cab to take us to hotel #1.

Little G and S at the base of Lord Nelson's statue in Trafalgar Square. G makes each of us salute our ancestor each time we pass by the square, which is often seeing as it is smack dab in the heart of the city! Little G now tries to plan our routes so he does not have to take part in his daddy's much loved game!

The boys loved our day at the Natural History Museum. I can already tell you that this will be a place that we will visit quite often!

What you don't see in this photo is what happened next . . . S reached up and kissed that T-Rex right on the smacker. This child has no fear! Something else that you don't see in this photo is that little G is across the room, as far away from T-Rex as he can manage, looking quite worried for his brother's safety and well-being.

We spent a wonderful day at Covent Garden. Are you beginning to notice that we are wearing the same clothes in all of these photos? We truly have about 3 outfits each that we have been rotating going on 2+ months now!

We enjoyed our first signs of spring with a day at Battersea Park, which is just across the River Thames from where we are living.

We enjoyed ringing in the Chinese New Year with thousands of others in Trafalgar Square!

Sweet little B just along for the ride!

The Orange BAFTAs were the same day as the Chinese New Year celebrations. We got home and got the babies down for a nap, and then G and I hopped on the tube headed for Covent Garden in hopes of catching a few movie stars. It was the two of us, along with thousands of others. G climbed atop my shoulders, armed with the camera, and I told him to start snapping photos whenever he heard the crowds scream and shout. You should see our pictures!

A day at the London Zoo . . . yet another place we will come to know very well.

The Science Museum was loads of fun. It was a perfect way to spend a rainy day!

The basement is full of hands-on children's exhibits. The boys could not get enough!

Here are the boys at the Princess Diana Memorial Playground. Another fantastic day out!

Couldn't you just eat them up?


Here we are at Disneyworld Paris. It was a fabulous weekend excursion, aside from 3 very sick little boys!


This is the day that little G became ill. Notice his coloring . . . we should have taken more notice ourselves!

Gotta' run . . . lots more of London to explore!
