London

London has a little something for everyone from The London Eye to everything Harry Potter.  London has it all.  It's even hosting the 2012 Olympics with the five Olympic rings hung at many locations in the city, including at the train station pictured below.

My absolute favorite part of London was seeing the musicals "Shrek" and "Wicked".

This was the set of "Wicked".

This was the set for "Shrek".

Some of the other fun things we saw and did while in London were...

Seeing Big Ben.  Big Ben only rings on the hour but other bells in the tower ring every fifteen minutes. Big Ben rang out of sequence for the first time in 60 years because of the Olympics.  The last time it rang out of sequence was at Queen Elizabeth II Coronation.

Taking a bus tour around London.

Taking a boat ride down Thames river and back.

Seeing Buckingham Palace.  The flag was up at Buckingham Palace which means the queen was there.

Watching the Changing of the Guards at Buckingham Palace.

The Tower Bridge which also had 5 Olympic rings.

The Millennium Bridge which is in the 6th Harry Potter movie.

The London Eye.  I unfortunately didn't get to ride it because the line was to long.

Then last but not least, visiting the British Museum...where we saw.....

 This is an outdoor theatre where the Greeks would sing and dance in a performance.

 When fighting, the Romans would wear armor all over their body, including their feet.

Sarcophagus's were used to keep dead bodies in ancient Egypt.

The Rosetta Stone has the exact same words written in three different languages, including Egyptian, which is how we learned to read Hieroglyphics.

These are the 2012 London Olympic medals which happened to be in the British Museum.

At the train station there was a security guard who was just glowing with excitement to take a picture with me as I stood near Platforms 9 and 10 at King's Cross Station.
