Big Family Adventure Part 2

OK, let's catch up to the present.  And let's do it by tracing today backwards from right now, as I sit in our London home at 10:40 p.m. writing this.

Just got back earlier from a trip to the market for tea and peas.  Don't ask.

We took a long bus ride back to our neighborhood after visiting the Abbey Road crossing famously portrayed on the Beatles album of the same name.  We waved to the webcam as the folks at my office back in Chatham watched and listened.

At Abbey Road.

We spent  a couple of hours at Madam Tussauds.  Somewhat underwhelming that, very flashy and crowded. And expensive.  But the boys enjoyed it.
The Boys with Charlie.

Visited Baker Street where we posed in front of 221B and popped into the Sherlock Holmes museum and store.

Had a picnic lunch in Kensington Park at the Lady Diana Children's Playground, which includes a full-size reproduction of the Peter Pan pirate ship.  Again, the boys had a fine time.

Quiet morning sleeping in, having a nice breakfast and playing catch with Lir in the tiny garden out back.

More tomorrow, perhaps!

Hey Tim, well it looks like you have had much time to write with all your adventures, which is probably a good thing. also, I just have to say that I think Rowan might be funnier than you, and I can't believe you lied to him about customs! Hysterical.
Hope you enjoy the rest of the trip as much. Love to Jenny and the boys. Rich
