London - Part III

Wednesday - may 6th: We got another early start to our day at 11:00am and had breakfast at The Waffle House - Patisserie, which was neither our idea of an American Waffle House or a French patisserie. It was delicious all the same!

We took the Rick Steves City Walk, led by our fearless leader and his pensive wife:

Some sights along the way...I like the red buses in this picture that Brian took:

My favorite English tea:

And a very interestingly named tavern:

This interesting fountain palace that resulted in a fun, albeit wet, stop for Michael:

Little Eden even joined in on the fun. We purposely sat her on a dry spot with no water so that we were sure she wouldn't get wet.

But then the wind shifted and she got COMPLETELY soaked!

Brian decided to get some World's Strongest Man Silhouettes

And a Brother's High Five Pose:

After having fun there...we found St. Paul's Cathedral:

Which was kind of strange because it's in the middle of all these business building so it seems a bit weird and out of place. And then, inside, you have to pay to see the church. WHAT? That just seems wrong to me.

We continued with our walk and ended up at the Tower of London:

only to find out that there were no more tours for the day so we would have to pay full price and not get any tours. So we opted to walk across the Tower Bridge:

And sit and play in a green park overlooking the Tower Bridge:
Of course, a game of steamroller was a must:
And pictures of all of us enjoying some down time with our kids:


While we were there, we changed 4 diapers total. Michael pooped once. Got changed. Went to tackle Uncle John. And while hovering over Uncle John's face, did another poop. Eden did not want to be left out so she did a pee diaper and then a poop one.

Ahhh...the great outdoors!

5 days down, 2 more to go! Tomorrow, will be Windsor Castle/Stonehenge (lots of pictures too) and then our last full day (Tower of London/Shopping...not so many pictures).
