one thing about traveling, with kids or without, is the need to be flexible. we set out each day with an itinerary but most of the time, we tend to deviate from it. sometimes by choice, sometimes not.
this particular day, it wasn't by choice. we were trying desperately to make it to Buckingham Palace in time for the Changing of the Guard ceremony. but every which way we turned, time slipped away. by the time we arrived anywhere near Buckingham Palace, the ceremony was nearly over. so, we adjusted our plans and had fun anyway.

| front row of the top of a double-decker: the best spot to be. |
 |
| so.many.stairs. |
 |
| waiting for the tube... |
 |
| he LOVES riding the tube...always peppering me with questions as we ride: how long does it take to go from the first stop to the last? does the driver get bored? how many stops left? does the same driver drive the same train every day? how fast does the train go? and on and on and on and on... |
 |
| always escalators... |
 |
| original double-decker. |

| sitting in Green Park. |
 |
| sibling love in Green Park. |
 |
| more Green Park. |
 |
| Buckingham Palace. and yes, the Queen was home! |
 |
| hanging on the gates, trying to get the guards to wave at them. |
 |
| not sure why it was constables this day, it was royal guards the next time we stopped by the Palace. |
 |
| i wonder what it's like inside. if she likes living there. if she likes being the Queen. i wonder... |
 |
| back through Green Park. |
 |
| an unplanned stop. Wellington Arch. yes, that's my mom and my kids in there... |
 |
| someone was tired. |
 |
| another unplanned stop! HARRODS! we only browsed the toy section...oh...and the chocolates. |
 |
| finally. a shot of me and the boy... |
