Day 52 & 53: London

Following our jaunt to Scotland, I thought it was important to see some of the sights of London while my Mom was here. Since I don't have classes on Mondays, we took the day and part of Tuesday afternoon as well to see some of the major sights and get a feel for what London is like.

This is going to be a primarily picture post, with some captions. If you don't like reading you're in for a treat, and if you do want to know more just comment and I'll let you know any details!

some kind of film crew?

no significance, I just love candy :P

I don't remember the name, but it's where Princess Di's body was held before her funeral

 And that was only Day 1. Click through for Day 2, and sorry for any loading problems because of all the pictures!



So, Day 1 was sightseeing and bus tours. I had class on Tuesday morning so we left a little later, but it was a nicer day and we had less planned to do. Here's Day 2 of London!

waiting for the train again

lunch when we got in, Tesco Express for the win

our view of Parliament from the corner

L: inside Westminster Abbey. I take no photo rules as "don't use flash" rules

R: the grounds

view of the ceiling in one of the churches

looking at the main altar

 Big Ben, and with us in front. both of kilter lol

walking across

 we each had a turn at the Platform. I pushed really hard, but no luck! :P

on the train home

sticky toffee pudding. new favourite dessert!

And that was our two days in London! I loved having my Mom over here so much, the best part was just seeing her experience new things and being able to show her around my temporary home! I think she enjoyed it, since she's already talked about coming back.

Off again to continue with homework, hopefully an OOTD post soon and more pics from this past weekend! I really don't stop, do I? 

Love you Mommy!

Til next time!
