London

We took our Ann and Amanda to London for two days of sightseeing. The first day, we used the Hop-on Hop-off bus tour to get around to the major sites. We even got to see Wicked in Theatre. The next day, I had to go to work while the three adventurers explored London on foot. It's always fun to see London!
Here is a view from the bus of Westminster Abbey.
Here's part of the House of Parliament. The other half is connected to Big Ben.
No, this is not the London Bridge. The only interesting thing about London Bridge is that it was there first and they used to put the heads of the beheaded on a pole at the far side of the bridge. This is the Tower of London Bridge. The bridge detail is amazing!
Westminster Abbey is gorgeous
Amanda was most excited to see Big Ben
This is the free church next to Westminster Abbey. The price was right.
Here we are at the Tower of London Castle. The primary use of this castle was to keep prisoners that were innocent prior to them being beheaded for making the King mad. We got to see the Crown Jewels here.
Chris is tired after a long day of sightseeing...
London has amazing statues everywhere!
Here is Amanda and Chris at London's Marble Arch
The changing of the guard only happens every other day in the spring, so Chris, Ann, and Amanda got to see the changing of the horses.
Sweet Lion!
