England Vacation, Part One

 We were so excited to take the kids to Europe for the first time.  We took the red eye over, and then just got settled in to our AirBnB the first day.  The next day we took a bike tour.  A pic of the Parliament building, as we were on our way to the bike tour meeting spot.

First stop was the London Eye, which we didn't take any pictures of.  Next stop was a great view of the Palace of Westminster, Big Ben, and the Parliament Building.

We made our way past St James park, the Churchill War Rooms, the Royal Horse Guards, Trafalgar Square, and up the Mall, past St James's Palace, Clarence House and Lancaster House.  Then we stopped for a few pictures in front of Buckingham Palace.


Then we rode over to the Wellington Arch, and then into Hyde Park.  We went by the Albert Memorial and Royal Albert Hall, but we didn't get any pics there.

After the bike tour, we walked through Chinatown to a restaurant in Soho.

The next morning, we headed to the Tower of London.  A pic in St John's Chapel inside the White Tower.

From the Tower of London, we made our way through the Borough Market for some food.  Then we walked by Shakespeare's Globe.
