And then there were 3-last day in London 2/7/10

This entire building here is Harrod's. (sorry this picture got in here out of order and I can't figure out how to move it.)

The Cabinet War Room where Churchill met with his War Cabinet. This room is where they planned out D-Day among other things.

Maps left just like they were with pins on where troops are fighting.

In the tea room at Herrod's.

Today we went back into the heart of London down to Westminster. After visiting all the D-Day sites we wanted to go to the Imperial War Museum (The war rooms). These are the underground rooms that Churchill directed the war from. It was really interesting. After V-J Day (Victory Japan) they closed up the rooms and walked away. Now almost 70 years later they've opened them all back up just as they were when they left them. Maps still on the wall and coffee cups on the table. Then we went to Harrod's for tea (very fancy) and bought some things in their gift shop (all we could afford!). It's 6 floors! We got lost multiple times (not hard with us I suppose though). Then we went for the last time to Boots (their version of Walgreens I'd say) and stocked up on all our British medicines since Dad won't be bringing them home anymore. (Jed, I got more LemSip!) After Boots we saw Crabtree and Evelyn!!!!!! Means nothing to the men I know, but Mom and I were super excited. I know you can go to one back home but it's way more exciting to go to it over here!

As we got back to the hotel we decided to do McDonald's for supper (no chance of stepping foot in the hotel restraunt) and then called all of the friends and family we've visited while over here to tell them thanks again for their hospitality and friendship.

It's been a very fun, wild ride for the 4 weeks we've been here and we will all have memories to last a lifetime (and hopefully fill a scrapbook). I was joking with Dad on the way back from McDonald's that this has been the longest I've ever spent with him at one time. An entire month of him! No school, no work, just 24 hours chock full of Mikey. And we're all still speaking.

Now that's a good vacation. Thanks for coming along with me.

I'll post random pics from the trip when I get home so you're not finished with me yet!!
