Whirlwind 3 days in London. We scratched the surface, saw a lot but only from a distance. I ate some yummy fish and chips, and Lily discovered the joy of eating baked beans for breakfast.

Look kids! Big Ben
Oh hey. There’s Buckingham Palace.
So pretty
I think we probably need a red telephone booth at our house.
We mastered the Underground. Mind the gap!
A highlight – Hamilton!! The Brits were good sports about the King. :). He’s my favorite. ya da da da da dah….you’ll be back
Such a beautiful theater
Intermission – all smiles!
A chilly Sunday morning loop on the Hop On Hop Off Big Bus.
St Paul’s Cathedral
The Crown Jewels are in that fortress. Would have been neat to go inside and see them – next time!
Look kids! Big Ben!

I didn’t get any good pictures of the basketball team. Unfortunately the boys lost both games, but they played hard. ASL was a solid team.

I love that we can explore a whole new city and country during an easy 3 day weekend. And I loved having a break from Google Translate. We manage pretty well in the land of Deutsch, but it is an additional layer of thinking and is a subtle frustration to not be able to speak the language in Germany. Being able to read and listen to everything without having to exert mental translation energy is a holiday treat.

Cheers mate!!
