Trip to England

We spent Wed-Sat last week in London. The girls did great and we had a good time. It was a lot of work for Sally - preparing and packing Elli's food and scale, then weighing it all out. One of the most notable food preparation/weighing spots was the floor of Victoria Train Station in London.

Hyde Park - where Pres. Hinckley and many others have preached on their soap boxes. Sunday is the official soap box day here so we missed the hoopla. It was nap time - the girls slept for the next 2 hours on our laps while did a tour on the top deck of the red double decker bus.


Westminster Abbey - where all the royalty get sworn at - I mean in. This is the top of the bus and our tour guide.


King's Royal Palace.


One of the royal guards. He was kind of grumpy - I guess they have an image to uphold.


Two cute Americans we found in England. They followed us around the whole trip. This was our second hotel. It was an old school from a couple hundred years ago. We had the Presidential sweet (not very sweet), the room right about the entrance was with four windows. Dorm style (only updated as absolutely necessary along the way) rooms, one restroom per floor. A good experience though.


Big Ben (actually the bell inside was named after Sir Benjamin EnglishPolitician, not the tower) This is the English Parliament building - built around 1830.
