First off, I’m going to try to post about 1-2 stories per day about our trip, to try to spread them out a bit and make it a little easier to keep up.\u00c2\u00a0 We started a little out of order – so that the Renewal of Vows and Maxwell Family \/ Caerlaverock Castle visit would be up first, but those were actually days six and seven of the cruise, 11 and 12 of the vacation.\u00c2\u00a0 So now we’re back to the beginning.<\/p>\n
Day one in the UK was London – we actually spent five days in London before our cruise from Southampton.\u00c2\u00a0 This is actually day 1 and 2, because that’s how I organized the pictures<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 By the way, if you see a little drawn paper figure in some pictures, that’s Flat Stanley<\/a> and it was a school project for Ethan to take pictures of Flat Stanley visiting as many sites during our trip as possible.<\/p>\n So on day one, we mainly tried to stay awake until UK bedtime, in order to avoid jetlag.\u00c2\u00a0 So first we went to the Sherlock Holmes museum at, of course, 221b Baker Street.\u00c2\u00a0 The museum building is laid out roughly how it is in the stories, with authentic era furniture and settings etc.\u00c2\u00a0 After that, we met up with Lisa, Jerry and Rory at the hotel and proceeded to our Duck Tours on the Thames river.\u00c2\u00a0 One more duck tour under our belt!\u00c2\u00a0 We’ve now taken Duck tours in California, Washington, Texas, Wisconsin, Missouri, and now London.\u00c2\u00a0 There are probably a few more I’m forgetting.\u00c2\u00a0 Anyway, after Duck tours, dinner and bedtime.<\/p>\n Day two, Lisa and company went to Stonehenge while we took the Hop-On, Hop-off bus tour of London… so you’ll see lots of pictures of London sites.\u00c2\u00a0 The pictures didn’t organize well, so it’s sort of a mix of Sherlock Holmes, the duck ride, and various sites around London.\u00c2\u00a0 Pictures, again, are HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n Next up, London Day 3 – Berkhampsted!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" First off, I’m going to try to post about 1-2 stories per day about our trip, to try to spread them out a bit and make it a little easier to keep up.\u00c2\u00a0 We started a little out of order – so that the Renewal of Vows and Maxwell Family \/ Caerlaverock Castle visit would […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-931","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-travel"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/famille.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/931","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/famille.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/famille.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/famille.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/famille.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=931"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/famille.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/931\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":933,"href":"http:\/\/famille.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/931\/revisions\/933"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/famille.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=931"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/famille.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=931"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/famille.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=931"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
