So our 2nd trip to London was just as good as the first time we went so we definitely weren't disappointed. We loved the company having Aunt Susan and Kara come to join us and it made the trip more fun!
Here are a few pictures of our trip :) They're a little but out of order but never-the-less, here they are...!
Anthony made a friend at the Tower of London while touring the castle
Anthony on the flight of stairs up the White Tower
Thought I would try and be one of the soldiers while we were there
Kara brought Miles the Bear for his first trip to Europe and we made sure he had fun while doing it!
