Fay's visit to London

Taking a nice walk around London at night. We saw Big Ben and Parliment, Westminster Abbey, and the London Eye. After that, we walked to Trafalgar Square and then by Buckingham Palace. The boys were both done after all of that walking.
The first day we went into Westminster Abbey and toured the enormous church. They gave us an activity to do with the kids as we went through so they could get a chocolate coin at the end from the gift shop. Needless to say, Fay and I had a lot of work to do and didn't get any of the chocolate at the end. Oh well, we saw things there that we probably wouldn't have paid any attention to otherwise.
The second day she was here we went to The Royal Mews, which is where they house all of the horses, cars, and carriages that the Queen or Royal family use for different events. Her coronation carriage was there and it was very emmaculate. After that tour, we went out to see the guards at Buckingham Palace and walk through St. James's Park.
