 Our 1st Trip To London

Jonathon had Monday off work since it was Columbus Day, so we decided to go exploring. It was scary but a lot of fun. We weren't in a rush so even though every tire on our new stroller was flat we didn't care taking a detour in a unknown city to find a bike shop to put air in the tires on foot.
We started our day kind of late but anyone who knows us, knows that's normal for us. 
First time on the Tube
We decided to take the tube into London. The kids loved it plus it saved us gas and it only cost at 16 pounds for the entire day of riding buses and trains. Ill be perfectly honest the transportation system is very confusing for a visitors. We got lost so many times.  luckily the people here are so very friendly and helpful. 
Always wanted to see a real one of these.

I was scared to make this trip at first because we had a couple people on base tell us we were crazy for going into London with 3 children and a large stroller. They compared it to New York city. They told us the people were always in a rush and  very rude. honestly that's how Disney World was no one cares about taking turns or being nice. if you stop to tie your shoe you are going to get ran over, but London was not like that at all.  
So Beautiful. Big Ben. My Husbands attraction he always wanted to see.

The people were so helpful. we got our stroller fixed for free, people stopped so we could take pictures and would even offered to take pictures of all of us together.  Only bad thing is everything is expensive, so we just did some sight seeing. Good enough for us .there was so much to look at. we had such a good time that we are going to head back on Wednesday  to go to a History and science Museum which is free, so Yea.

We would love to do the tour bus and some of the other attractions but we have no problem waiting for discount tickets from the base.  

We are definitely going on the London eye next time.
London is amazing but sad thing is that it is not wheelchair friendly there are elevators but most of them are out of order and a pain to get to and very narrow. we took the stroller on them a couple times but we still had to fold it up. Lots and lots of stairs to get anywhere
its hard to take children but they are free so why not take them. 5 and under free for transportation and rides so great. it will be nice when they get older, so we don't have to push them and carry them. But my kids are skinny and eat like birds so there cheap taking them to eat. Cant wait to do it again and again.

Wouldn't you love to spend your day doing this


Your art will be remembered forever.
