London Day 2


Jordan taking pictures while we were at breakfast at McDonald's   
  Our 2nd day in London we did the open top double decker bus tour, Jordan thought it was so much fun to rid on top of the bus.
 Most of the pictures on this post are from our bus tour ride, and I don't know what they are. 
 Shopping on Regent Street. 
 Her Majesty's Theater 
 More Theaters

 Random Photos of London!

 Giant Ship in a bottle. 
 While we were on the the bus it hit a truck and cracked the "windscreen". We had to get off and walk to the next bus stop, but it really wasn't that far. 
 If we didn't have to get off the bus we wouldn't have walked around Trafalgar Square, and would have missed the free bathroom there! Free bathrooms are a big deal! 

 Jordan playing in the fountain in Trafalgar Square. 
 Count down to the Olympics being held in London. 
 Back on the bus!
 Eye of London

 Having so much fun!

 Eye of London, Big Ben, and Parliament. 
 St. Paul's Cathedral - where Princess Diana was married.  
 Driving on Tower Bridge
 Tower of London
 Can't go to London without eating Fish and Chips! 
 Our bus tour ticket also included a boat ride! Here are some random pictures while on the boat.

 Tower Bridge 

 Parliament 
 The Little red boat is the one we were on. 
 Back on the bus, Westminster Abbey in the background- where Prince William and Kate were married. 
 Funny zigzags on the roads!




 Jordan just couldn't hang on any longer , poor kid was exhausted.  The bus tour took pretty much all day, after we got off we ate at Pizza Hut then headed back to the hotel to let Jordan swim. 
 Early the next morning we headed back to the airport for our 7 am flight. Here is our rental car, aren't you jealous?!

We had so much fun in London, I think it was my favorite place to visit while we have been here in Europe. The fact that they speak English might have had a little to do with why it was my favorite!

Day 1 in London

We flew to London late Sunday night and flew back home early Wednesday morning. We ended up renting a car to get to our hotel and back, pictures on the car to come later! Our hotel was about an hour drive from the hotel, and my dad had to drive on the wrong side of the car and road. It was rather funny!!!
Taking the train from our hotel to see the sights in London!

Changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace!

 Tower Bridge, not to be confused with London Bridge!

 Big Ben
 Josh's main reason for wanting to go to London was so he could say "Look kids, Parliament, Big Ben!" From the European Vacation movie.  
Back of Westminster Abbey 

 Front of Westminster Abbey 
 Phone Booth!
 I thought this picture describes London with the phone booth, double decker bus, and Westminster Abbey.
