As a child and as a student, I used to visit London quite a lot (I almost knew the Science and Natural History museums like the back of my hand), but hadn't been in years. I feel that I have been negligent in my parental duties in not taking the girls before this.<BR/><BR/>As London cannot be experienced in a day, we're going to try and fit in a visit about once a year or so.<BR/><BR/>For starters, they need to see Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, Covent Garden, our favourite Chinese restaurant in China Town, the rest of the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum, the Planetarium and the Oxford Street Christmas lights. We'll have to work our way through these one visit at a time.Violahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14141614252355533198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18909306.post-1155920323135755122006-08-18T12:58:00.000-04:002006-08-18T12:58:00.000-04:00You said, "Neither Emily nor Lauren had ever visit...You said, "Neither Emily nor Lauren had ever visited London before, so they were as keen to see the sights as we were to show them." <BR/><BR/>Isn't it amazing that we all visit the great things in our "own back yard" the least! You had to move to the U.S. to see London. Can't wait to show my wife and kids the picture of your family trying to get on at platform 9 3/4. They will love it!Whit+https://www.blogger.com/profile/11230181113950441099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18909306.post-1155890719292678852006-08-18T04:45:00.000-04:002006-08-18T04:45:00.000-04:00I've only been to London once and only for a few d...I've only been to London once and only for a few days - wish I'd had time to go to the natural history museum :-)crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05681674503952991492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18909306.post-1155832615999151862006-08-17T12:36:00.000-04:002006-08-17T12:36:00.000-04:00Happy birthday, Lauren.
