As stated in previous posts, we walk over here. Actually, we walk a lot. And, my family saw that first-hand! :) So, we were walking machines, hitting up the sights together and stopping for a cup of tea or coffee every few hours to stay warm and energized. Some of the sights we visited were: Kensington Palace, the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Harrod's, National Portrait Gallery, National Gallery, British Museum, National History Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, Soho, the theatre district and Leister Square, Westminster, Whitehall, etc, etc., and more etc.! :) Do you see why we are considering opening up a touring group! :) haha. We loved being together as a family and can't wait for you to come back!
Enjoy the pics!
