\"IMG_0862\"<\/a>There is so much to see in London and places to go. \u00c2\u00a0We decided the best way to see it all was to take a tour- a “Hop on, Hop off” tour. \u00c2\u00a0We went through the whole tour (a little over two hours). \u00c2\u00a0We all enjoyed the fun facts and interesting information our great tour guide had. \u00c2\u00a0We were even able to decide which things we want to go back to see! \u00c2\u00a0It may have been a little too long for the kids, but it was a fun time and a great way to see the city and learn more. \u00c2\u00a0We hopped off at Trafalgar\u00c2\u00a0Square and had our lunch.<\/p>\n

We walked\/took the tube to the American Embassy which we had seen on our tour. \u00c2\u00a0No one was there but we were able to see some American statues- Roosevelt, John Adams…and Ronald Regan. \u00c2\u00a0There was also a tribute garden those who died on\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a09\/11 with the listings of names of UK residents.<\/p>\n

Next up was ice cream! It’s been beautiful weather, but lots of sun and walking makes for hot kids! \u00c2\u00a0There are\u00c2\u00a0some minor sunburns!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0886\"Then we headed off to Buckingham Palace. \u00c2\u00a0Where else on the 4th of July! \u00c2\u00a0Lots of other Americans had the same idea! \u00c2\u00a0There were lots of people we saw throughout the day with festive clothes. \u00c2\u00a0A few people even said Happy Independence Day to us. \u00c2\u00a0It may have had to do with the boys choosing to wear their American Flag shirts!<\/p>\n

Happy 4th to everyone at home! \u00c2\u00a0We hope the impending storm passes!!<\/p>\n
