Buckingham Palace, rare opportunity to tour the inside, John and Anita are pulling strings through friends to get tickets. The rain let up long enough for us to have messy hair and take pictures. Yes, Kate Middleton’s dress and shoes, and a big “to-do” exhibit was there in the Palace Ballroom, which was magnificent. No, not the dress… the Ballroom ! Well.. yes the dress was pretty spectacular.
The rooms and hallways are loaded with amazing original paintings and gifts that the Royal Family have received over the years. (But I couldn’t take interior pics)
Buckingham Palace Front, prior to our tour.
Buckingham Palace Rear, the amazing “back yard” or “Royal Gardens” .

Then on over to Houses of Parliament and Big Ben

St. Paul’s Cathedral. Very ornate, and after our 2 1/2 hour walking tour we had lunch in the basement , or “the cript” where many notables are buried.
St. Paul Monument near the original location of St. Paul’s cross, a place where the important public announcements were made.
Considered going in here to the natural history museum to see the animated “brontosaurus” but the line was too long and rains was pending, and it finally came down heavy… awww .. that London weather
All the pubs were packed like this, Friday night and the week’s work is done.

OUR TRIPS
Posted: August 12, 2011 Filed under: OUR TRIPS Leave a commentHello, and again welcome to our BLOG. Here’s the beginnings of logging our family trips. This First Entry is a Test to get this up a rolling before we’re off to England and I won’t have any time for the learning curve. : )
Entry Number One. This is from one of the first Disneyland Trips with our Daughter Ava Grace in 2006 When Ava Grace was one. My wife Alexa looks sooo beautiful here, and Ava Grace looks beautiful too. The sun was just right that day for that Golden Feel.
Over and Out for now…
