Day 1: Afternoon Tea Bus Tour

Last Monday, we approached London around 10 am.  The twins slept a bit.  I couldn't sleep at all.  I was so uncomfortable.  It was a long 7 hours.  

There is London from above!

We landed!  Yay!  The twins started everyone clapping.  

A driver picked us up and drove the hour across London to our hotel.  There are no highways through London.  It's only local roads.  

There is Harrods on the right!  It was great to be back.  I hadn't been here in decades.  

Our hotel was very nice and in a great location.  We had some trouble at check in but it all got worked out.  I had scooters sent to the hotel ahead of our arrival for the twins to use there.  They aren't the best walkers so I thought they might help.  Off we went to find lunch.  

They felt comfortable right away and started scooting around people.  

We found a nice burger place and pigged out!

Then we wandered into Covent Garden.  

It was so fun to be there!

Boys and their scooters.  

Ariel found a Charlotte Tilbury store.  She was very excited.  

So many crazy foods and shops.  

Of course I had to get one of these maritozzis.  Yum.

Popcorn!

Back to the hotel to get our rooms.  

We had two rooms on the same floor.  The twins stayed with Amy and I.  

We then took an Uber to Victoria Station.  We passed by Big Ben on the way!

We went on an afternoon tea bus tour.  

There were some fancy treats.  

We drove around the city and had lots of tea.

It was a nice way to have a tour.  

We made it back and had our first group picture.  

We saw Buckingham Palace on the way back.  

Aden Ariel and I went for a late dinner. 

Then we wandered around a bit.  

And ended up on Drury Lane where we searched for the muffin man!

 

On Our Way to London

We just got back from London!  We left last Sunday night and I have a million pics to share so let me get last weekend out of the way.  Saturday was pretty quiet.  The boys all got haircuts.  That night was the first night of Passover.  No one wanted to cook so we went to Maggios for dinner.

It was nice to catch up with everyone.

The food wasn't so great though.  

That night, we watched Back to the Future.  Ariel and the twins had never seen it before.  We were going to see the play in London so we wanted them to know the story.  They loved it.  It's one of my all time favorite movies.  I had to buy it.  It's not streaming!

On Sunday, I took the twins to see the Minecraft movie.  

They loved it!  I found it entertaining too.  

After, we finished packing.  

Then we headed to Philly airport for our 10pm flight.  

We figured we would try and sleep on the plane but we were worried about the kids keeping us up.

It was a long night...

 

Dirty Hedwig

Last Thursday, Ariel helped make meatballs.  You can tell by her face she was grossed out and gave up quickly.  

Ariel facetimed with Amanda and worked on her bikini box.  

Hedwig is getting really dirty.  

Last Friday, we got Noah's now quarterly Humanities newsletter.  

Ariel and Tessa had their privates.  

Ariel flying!

Dylan came to play.  

Ariel slept over a friend's house.  She sent this pic.   Have a great weekend!
