She looks just like that fish at the museum.
The famous red telephones all over London.
Our internet is still down, I'm sitting at a USO terminal with free internet. This just bites! Oh well, I'll slowly get to updating the blog. I'll start with Dallin's b-day that was on Sunday. We started out with intentions to go to a church in London but our attempts failed, we didn't make it up in time to be there at 9. We didn't have the lap top to look up another starting time for the local wards. Oh well, we had church in our thoughts that day. :-)
Our day started with a trip to the London Natural History Museum. All of the museum's in London are free! This museum was pretty cool! There were bones, animals, reptile and fish models, interactive science things and a whole lot of other fun stuff. We spent a couple hours inside, leaving just in time as the huge crowds were arriving.
We walked to Harrod's department store and shopped around there for awhile. By shopping I meant we glanced at the over priced items. We did buy some chocolates which were yummy.
That day we also celebrated his b-day lunch at Hard Rock Cafe. Free drink refills lured us into the restaurant. I hear they're the only restaurant around that do free refills, so far I believe it. Dallin was suprised when the waitress walked over carrying an icream in her hand with candles lit. She asked him to stand on his chair and invited the crowd to join her in a loud happy birthday song. He was embarassed but enjoyed the candles.
We ended up at Westminster Abbey and walked around the church grounds. We wanted to see the organ concert that evening but there really wasn't much to do around there while we waited for the concert to start 90 minutes later. We called it an evening and headed to the hotel to get packed up for our early departure. When I say early, I mean EARLY!!! Our wake up call was at 3:15 am. We had the taxi pick us up at 3:45 to take us to the bus which took us on the hour ride to the airport. Although it was early, we had a good trip back home.
