We set off on Saturday morning and started by visiting the Natural History Museum. My daughter loves dinosaurs and she had been looking forward to seeing them at the museum for ages. She was not disappointed and was even a little scared as we walked past the life sized tyranasaurus rex.
Later we went for a walk along the embankment, taking in the London Eye and a visit to the aquarium. What really suprised me was how busy everything was for a cold February day, there were queues for everything.
Our overnight stay was at Think, Tower Bridge, where we had an apartment, very swish. After some tea of both edible and drinkable varieties, we took a stroll to Tower Bridge so we could look at the Tower of London and other sights by night. It was freezing!
Next day we headed to Pudding Lane to see the monument to the great fire of London, followed by a drive by of Horse Guards Parade, Trafelgar square, Big Ben, Downing Street, Picadilly Circus, etc. We then parked up and waited for Hamleys to open, the finale to our trip. The waiting took in some doughnuts and McDonalds as it didn't open until Midday. Once we managed to drag the girls away we headed home.
We had a great time but I think we'll wait until our youngest is a bit older before going again - she wouldn't go in the pushchair as they're for babies, and was too tired to walk far so ended up being carried - my poor arms and back!
