Tour de London--we covered serious ground on foot, literally miles and miles, with 3 kids and a very sweet, helpful, jet-lagged teenager
London Bridge
View of Tower Bridge (my obsession with taking pictures of the rings at the bridge was epic)

Thames River Cruise back from Westminster Pier to Tower Bridge--it was beautiful! We were really hoping the rings would be lowered and lit, but a boat had passed through recently, so we weren't so lucky. Consolation prize was an amazing moon over the bridge. The battery was dead in my 'good' camera, but you can see how beautiful it was :)
Proof that we ended our London weekend with some worn out kiddos!
Love this shot of Keller--I fear this will be his 'look' throughout college
Next up---WWOOFing near Peak National Park--we'll be camping and working on an organic farm :)
