The day started out with a bang. As we walked to the subway station, Rob suggested we walk through the little park on our way. Preston was the last in the group and we heard a big groan/scream come from him and all headed back to see what was wrong. As we looked at his new black jacket, we all started to laugh - a bird had found his mark. I thought we were going to have to pick Rob up off the ground he was laughing so hard. At any rate we all were in a good mood as we headed for our bus tour, except for Preston who was bemoaning the state of his jacket because he likes to take good care of his things (I had a hard time believing that when I know how he takes care of his bedroom).
We were planning on making the "free" walking tour that came with our bus tour but we were just a few minutes late arriving at Trafalgar Square and had missed it. \We frantically tried to catch a tour we thought was our but it wasn't. So we just headed for the bus. It had just finished raining, so we decided to sit on the top of the double
decker bus. Everyone was excited as we passed #10 Downing Street, Big Ben and the Houses of
Parliament and rode across the Thames. I was
snapping pictures and we were all having a great time. About 5 minutes later that all changed for me when my camera battery went DEAD! The rest of the day as the sun shone on all the beautiful buildings (it was our only sunny day), Preston would say, "Mom, did you get a picture of that it looks so great! Oh yeah, I forgot - no camera." And to think I brought him to Europe!
We rode the bus all over the city, getting off at Westminster Abbey to tour it. It was really amazing, especially Poet's Corner where so many famous English writer are buried. We hit the gift shop where Preston bought a small replica of the Abbey and had to carry it around for the next two days.
Here is the last of my pictures before my camera died. I was sick the rest of the day! We had a great boat tour as the sun was going down, of course no pictures! The Thames winds through the city and we went from the Tower Bridge to
Millennium Pier (near the Houses of
Parliament). We went back to Leicester Square for dinner and then head back to Big Ben and the Houses of
Parliament to see them with all the lights on. We were rewarded for our efforts; the buildings were beautiful.

You should always pack an extra battery. That really stinks!
