Today we all got up a little later … the kids waited until 6:00am. After breakfast we headed into London to see the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. <\/p>\n
It takes us about an hour on the Tube to get in to the main sights of London; so we got to Buckingham Palace around 10:45am. All the good spots by the gate right outside the palace were taken and so was the spot by the Victoria memorial. But we did get a good side-street view right at the railings. We watched the main guard march down to the Place from far-off, but after a short break (and eating lunch on the green) we got to see the band march right past us. It was pretty cool. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We all agreed that Kensington Palace was a much more comfortable looking place to live than Buckingham. We’d take it, if offered.<\/p>\n
Once again, all the exhibits were really well done. Interactive enough to keep three kids happy and interesting enough for the adults. Chayton was even interviewed (and got) a royal job as Keeper of the Royal Beasts (the animals kept in the Tower of London).<\/p>\n
