Last Hurrah in London

 Last Saturday we all went to London for the day. It's a 10 minute walk to the station, then 1 hour on the train to King's Cross which is one of the major terminals in London connecting British rail to the tube. 

First we went to Regent's Park for some playground time, the rose gardens, and a picnic on the lawn.

Then we went to the Science Museum. Eliza was fascinated by the exhibit on flight. She plans to fly a plane when she grows up. 

After everyone was thoroughly exhausted by science, we hopped on a bus to Chinatown for dinner, walking by 221B Baker St on the way (aka Sherlock Holmes' house).

Robert, Hanna and Eliza headed home while Lenny and I went to see Les Miserables at the Sondheim Theater.  The musical went until after 10pm so we got the train from King's Cross just after 11 and home after midnight.  Lenny thought that walking through Soho on a Saturday night was super cool.  But despite his grown-up aspirations, Lenny found staying up past 9pm quite difficult and was very happy to see his bed!
