London with Pete and Lee

Pete and Lee Anne came out to see us in November for 10 days. We explored Ireland and London. London was way cool!!! We stayed at the world's skeeviest hotel I am pretty sure that Mike's dorm room was nicer than the Airways Hotel. Sometimes it is just not worth it to save a buck. Lee Anne slept on her towels!

We went to Buckingham palace, Madame Tussaud's wax museum, The Imperial War museum, The Queen's gallery, (Paintings by Reuben, priceless furniture and jewels) Covent Garden, The Lyceum Theater for The Lion King show, A huge toy store named Hamley's with 5 floors of toys, Trafalgar Square and Westminster Abbey.

Ian and Emma had a great time with their first taxi ride and tube(subway) ride. They were thrilled to have time to spend with Auntie Lee and Uncle Pete. We all agreed that Westminster Abbey was the best thing we saw. We went inside and the architecture is amazing. It is so neat to walk around and see where Kings and Queens were crowned.

Pictures to come soon.
