All the Lary's tagged along as Daddy Dave had business to tend to in London. First off, it was refreshing to be in a place where everyone spoke English - made it tons easier to get around, ask questions, get details on things to do/see, etc. We've gotten used to practicing our French often so it was a nice break to "think English" for a few days. We did some kid-friendly sightseeing (some things only from afar) - Big Ben, Parliment, Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, London Eye (didn't ride this time), London Aquarium, Natural History Museum, Science Museum, Princess Di memorial fountain and children's playground, and even had a chance to visit some friends who live in the city. All in all it was a great mini-vacation and we enjoyed the lively city! After London, Dave headed off "in style" to some meetings in Moscow which he commented was an amazing city. We are feeling quite priveleged to have such wonderful opportunities to see and do so much while living here in Europe.
Our Fall break is coming to an end and the boys will get back to school next week.
Now, to plan our next adventure ...
