London

While in England, the whole family took a 2 hour busride to London. We stayed overnight, so we had two days to see the city! The most striking thing was the age of the buildings! We think a 100 year old building is old here in the states, but we saw several buildings there over 1000 years old! We got to go to an evensong service in Westminster Abby, where it said that worship had been offered in that building every day for over 1000 years. What an incredible experience! We also got to see Big Ben, the changing of the guard, Trafalgar Square, the British Museum and lots more! It was a great trip and our nephews were such troopers. Nate (3) walked most of what we walked and was only carried towards the end of the day.
