The special exhibit this year was of the Queen's gowns throughout the years. It was interesting as they were gowns she had worn separated by countries she wore them in. So there was an African visit section and an Australian/New Zealand section. Amazingly enough I recognized a few pieces in the collection from textbook pictures I had seen as the pictures of her wearing the gowns were also displayed. After our tour we, and again I mean me, had some tea and scones at the palace. I mean really, how often do you get to have tea and scones at Buckingham Palace? I did share with the boys and Colton discovered he quite liked scones! Must have been the clotted cream! 







Jeff and I really enjoyed repeating over and over, "look kids Big Ben, parliament" at every opportunity but as the kids haven't seen European Vacation, the humor was lost on them! We did take some fantastic pictures along the way of everyone with Big Ben.








I like this picture of my favorite American tourists!



We had fun on the London eye. It wasn't an attraction I was particularly keen to go on, but the boys were so excited. I have to admit the views were beautiful and we were lucky to have gorgeous weather. It was a 30 minute ride all the way around.
