London, baby!

Matt and I took a trip to jolly old England in late March.  We met Beth's high school friend Michele who graciously became our tour guide!  Our hotel was minutes away from two tube stations, and walking distance to three fantastic museums.  I took tons of pictures, here are some of my favorites:


Albert Memorial


Diana Memorial Fountain




Diana Memorial Walk
Picadilly Circus
Natural History Museum

London's shortest street name

Fourth Plinth, Trafalger Square
St James's Park Blue Bridge

Victoria and Albert Museum
Old choir book!
The Luck of Edenhall



Time to ride the Eye!


Empty capsule behind us
People in the the capsule in front of us
Parliament and Big Ben!

Science Museum
Preparing an exhibit dedicated to King Richard III (that's not really his skull!)

Tower of London


Our Yeoman (yo-man)


Mesh sculptures of animals which used to actually live at the Tower


Dragon made of old armor
I dub thee Sir Matt!
Back at the V&A
Loved this glass banister!
Headthinker III
Excuse me, but I believe he ordered the LARGE...



This ornate piece once held communion bread.

Maura's 4th birthday!

Maura had a fantastic 4th birthday!  We had her party the Saturday after her actual birthday at the Family Entertainment Center on post.  A few of her friends from the gym came to celebrate with her, and cousin Theo came down with Kublai and Gramma Nancy!  Everyone had a great time.
