Our day started out with pouring rain, but it stopped before we went
out and we had blue skies all day. Our first stop was Buckingham
Palace, where we were able to go inside and tour the state rooms. It
is the 60th anniversary of the queen and Prince Phillips wedding, so
they have a special exhibit of their wedding clothes, gifts, and
jewelry. We were also able to see another painting by Vermeer, who the
kids and I have been studying. This photo of us was taken in the
Queen's garden of the back side of the palace. Raven was excited to
see the garden, but she thought it would be smaller and prettier.
We walked to Hyde Park and took the tube to Leicester Square for
lunch. After lunch we decided to go to Harrod's. I have never been
there with kids before and we spent most of our time in the Toy
Kingdom. We also saw cute puppies in the pet shop and a pair of shoes
that cost 64,000 pounds! We had to buy Turkish Delight from the food
stalls.
We finished the day by going to the theatre to see "Wicked"! It is
still fabulous! We were able to get 1/2 price, same day tickets. The
kids are becoming quite the theatre critics.
