{EUROPE} Day Three - London Day 3

This morning, we headed out and walked over...

to the Tower Bridge for a self-guided tour...

We loved the glass floor on the walkway connecting the two towers...

Once we walked back down, we visited the engine rooms, which were really neat...

We had to remake a photo (though with the bridge on the other side behind us) from back in 2018...

This bridge is just so pretty!

After our tour, we headed back closer to our hotel to grab lunch at The Hercules...

and look who we found!

Our food was very good, too...

After lunch, we made sure Grandma was settled back at the hotel, and I said a final farewell to our cousin A...

before reconnecting with my family so we could make our way to the train station...

to catch a train to Windsor...

to tour Windsor Castle...

First, we visited St. George's Chapel (no photos allowed inside)...

and then the State Apartments (no photos allowed there, either)...

After our tours, we grabbed dinner at a local pizza place, Franco Manca...

It was another great day!

Heading to the ship tomorrow!

{EUROPE} Day Two - London Day 2

We ALL slept in this morning, and it was GLORIOUS!

Some of us got up in time to explore a bit around the hotel, but most of us got up just in time to get to our scheduled Afternoon Tea (for ELEVEN!) at Oblix at The Shard...

Grandma and I arrived a bit before everyone else, as we had taken a car...

while Hubby and the kids walked!

We had such a nice time visiting with our German cousins...

{Grandma & A are 3rd cousins}

{more about the last time we were together for Afternoon Tea}

sampling different teas and treats...

and enjoying the beautiful views from up above!

{M and my children are 5th cousins and share the same great great great great grandparents!}

After a fulfilling afternoon (in more ways that one), we headed back to the hotel and had some time to rest and then freshen up for a fun dinner at Sketch...

Sketch is fancy, but it is an EXPERIENCE...

and don't get me started on maybe the most interesting part of the whole place...the bathrooms!

{yep, that's the bathroom!}

But seriously, it was a wonderful night of being together and celebrating Hubby's big birthday a little (a month) early! 

Goodnight, London!

More fun on tap for tomorrow!
