WARNING!!!
NUDITY BELOW!!
SORRY!
But after meeting the Queen in the Morning.....we were met by a LONG parade of Nakedness while walking towards our bus! It was AWFUL! Tonz of NAKED men on bikes. There were women too, but mostly men! And just when you thought it was over, there would be a new wave of them! I am scarred for life! This is the clean pic!!
We finished our first day PERFECTLY by seeing Wicked!! We had such good seats that my Mom sincerely thought that they had changed to storyline!! It was FABULOUS!!!
The ELY abby! Pretty cool! Loved the octagonal tower!
Neen's house (when we were there!) Such a cute place and fun to be with her and her FAM!!
Tower bridge agian!
London Tower (part of it)
Just can't help it!! You see a crown...you put it on!!
A Classic!!
E=Elizabeth--the Queen
R=An English word meaning Queen.....
The abbreviation for King is "R" too.....so this never changes!
THE TUBE!
Mind the Gap
London Temple!
Completely out of the way.....but completely worth it!
The Man who shuttled us to our Car Rental, and returned us a week later!

Madam Tussaud's! We loved it!
James Dean died while we were in England...thus my silly pose!
Had to remember one way or the other! :)
I love this pic! A random shot of us having a GREAT time!!
Janene making Shauna's squished penny! She wanted to turn the wheel 'cause "she never get's to....her kids always want to do it!" I loved that!
Mom and Neen enjoying their time on The SLOWEST bus EVER!
Big Ben isn't soooo big!
Mom and I acting and looking like the biggest tourists EVER!!
An officer that could charge!
There was a line of tourists who wanted a pic, just cause he was willing!! :)
A back shot of parliament!
This is as close as we got to Westminister Abby! So sad.....even after a week my mind still thought that 1530 mean 5:30pm! !#(%@
Where else do things close at 3:30pm????
So we cruised to the British Museum......without stopping at the bathroom!
I couldn't stand the thought of ONE MORE PLACE being closed by the time we got there!!
Too bad 600 Meters sounds so much closer than it is!
So I got to see the Rosetta Stone......
and Mom got to change her pants in the bathroom!
Luckily Mom doesn't hold a grudge!
The Yummy french restaurant with GREAT FRIENDS!!
I ordered 2 bowls of soup! It was THE BEST french onion soup EVER!!
The classic "Mousetrap" in London!
The Theater! Small but fabulous!
Our hotel on the way in, and on the way out!!
See you later ENGLAND--we loved you!!
Just a glance of the fabulous tie and cuff links Travis got from England!

Julie, sounds like you had an amazing time in England. My family and I lived in Germany for a few years and we got to spend a month over in England. Seeing all the places that you visited brought back alot of memories. Glad to see that you had such an amazing time. Bet it was hard not only to leave little Syd but also hard to come back. Thanks for sharing your fun memories. Jen
I've had so much fun reading about your vacation. I would love to go to England. Looks like you had a great time. Loved all the pictures.
