England: Day 5

Day five was the Tower of London! But on our way, we swung by the official Platform 9 3/4, which was a total ZOO! The wait time was like two hours just to get your picture taken with the trolley and sign. It was another hour or so to get into the shop at Platform 9 3/4.. Needless to say, we didn't wait!...

Well, you can see the sign in the background at least...

Tower of London...

Our Tower of London tour guide told us the Tower Bridge drawbridge doesn't go up that often... 

Our super cool tour guide...

Not sure how these Beef Eaters would be able to chase or fight someone trying to steal the Crown Jewels with that hat on...

While Ella, Brooklyn and I were checking out the Crown Jewels, Ryan took Kendall and Hudson to see a little interactive show they put on about the man who tried to steal the Crown Jewels....

Goodbye Tower of London. Hello Tower Bridge...

The Asays at Tower Bridge...

Parks and playgrounds in London are the best and were a huge hit with the kids...

Have I mentioned how much ice cream we consumed while in England? It was ridiculous! It's everywhere and we seemed to find it wherever we were!...

We thought we'd swing by Buckingham Palace to say hello to Her Majesty The Queen. Unfortunately, she was too busy for us and plus, we were still eating our ice cream...

 The funniest thing happened... as we were stepping off the Tube, Ryan stepped on the back of Hudson's shoe and it came off his foot and fell in the gap onto the train tracks! (I'm pretty sure when they say, "Mind the Gap" every time the Tube doors open, they don't mean because you might lose your shoe!) Hudson, of course, was freaking out! But guess what saved the day? My SELFIE STICK!! Not only is this thing amazing when you're trying to take family photos, but it's amazing for scooping up lost shoes off the Tube train tracks without getting arrested! Yay, we saved Hudson's shoe! and another successful day done in England! ...
