Stars and Hero's day

This past weekend we took a trip to Madame Tussauds in London and then walked around Oxford Circus. So glad we waited until now to visit, there were no crowds and we were able to enjoy ourselves.
This is the BBC in London.

 
 
Leonardo was one of the tallest figures on display.



The Beckham's, David Beckham is in the museum twice.



Getting cozy with George.

 
Sadly,  this may be the closest Sydney will ever get to One Direction



Her favorite Nile! I wonder in a few years if she'll still be fan or if this will be an embarrassing moment.


The Duke

E.T. would never go home if was up to him.


Oh, Darling!


Is this the set of Jurassic Park? I'd be the first to die.


Her favorite royal, the hair was terrible.


My favorite royal.



Life long dream to dance with Beyoncé.




I can't wait to frame this picture for his room.

 
You can count on them!

 
 
Beautiful cloudy day in Britain, again.




So much shopping can be done on this street, next time girls only!

Trafalgar square


Just a big open area, with a big fountain, a big blue chicken (art), street performers and a great view. That's what I saw of Trafalgar Square, I'm sure they conduct other business here but on the day we went that is what we saw.

This Roman soldier let me wear his hat, I think he loves his job!







This is a beautiful statue of King George IV my picture doesn't do it justice.


It may not look high but it took some pulling, pushing and dragging to get myself up there.



Hashtag






The force is with this one.



Even though Micky and Zac explained how this guy pulled off this trick.. I don't get it.




There one in every city. Again, how's he doing it?




Umm.. I don't think Roman soldiers wore pants, or shoes. Suck it up dude, and try to look realistic. 






I see Big Ben in the background.  And two sweet kids in the front.


Tried not to let Brody watch this for too long, no reason to encourage this as a career path,

Love this place.




It's a blue chicken.. WHY???

The queen's home

A few weeks ago we went to London with our friends and spent the day sightseeing. It was a pretty day and luckily there was no rain. We took a little time and walked to Buckingham Palace, this is a as close as you can get except for once a year in August or September when people are allowed to buy tickets and tour part of the palace. The queen was not home on this day, it's hard to tell from this picture but if she was home that flag on the top would have been the Royal Standard flag.


 Every time I see the Admiralty Arch I am in awe of it, it's so beautiful and such a nice entry towards the palace. 









Walking on the Mall












Queen Victoria memorial in front of the palace.











Brody and Addie had fun running around and are to young to appreciate where they are.
