Bonus London Pictures

I love this picture of my kids in the armory at the Tower of London.
They are standing next to a display of armor for a giant and a dwarf (which
I originally thought was matching armor for father and son - maybe that's
where Laura Ashley got the idea).

This is the best picture I could get of the clock tower at the Houses of Parliament. The position of the sun was working against me.

Standing on the south side of the River Thames, right next to the London Eye, we see the Queen Elizabeth Bridge, with one of the famous red, double decker busses crossing over, and the Houses of Parliament.

On the way out of the crown jewel exhibit, we ran into this fellow. I thought he was odd looking, but I liked the way his eyes are looking up. It actually looks like he is rolling his eyes. He's probably thinking, "If I have to be in a picture with any more silly kids today, I'll eat my own head. OOOOOhhhh nooooo, here come some more!!!"
