London 6.11.09

Today the weather was amazing... it started off cool and warmed up a bit but it was the first time we saw sun. It did drizzle for about 2 mins. then the rest of the day was awesome!

We got out late because we were trying to get in contact with our friend Critsey who was coming in from Germany today! Mom and I got a bite to eat from Mc D's again and had a picnic in Hyde Park! We walked to the Princess Diana memorial and then walked into the Kensington Gardens and saw Kensington Palace. By then Critsey got here and we walked to her hotel. She is staying in a very cool hotel with orange couches and black and white striped wall paper... my mom loved it. Her room is cool but tiny... she had my mom laughing very hard, she said she could stand up and touch both walls... she wasn't lying, she showed us!

We left Critsey's hotel and started back down Hyde Park without a plan and so we started taking pictures of London things... my mom and Critsey were having so much fun then a car passed by and it had a police escort when we looked in my mom thought it was the Queen but we found out later she rides in a Rolls Royce and this was a Jaguar and Princess Ann usually rides in this kind of car either way... we saw Royalty!

We caught a cab after that and went to dinner and had Italian, it was good too! After that, it was late and here we are again!

I think we have a big day tomorrow hopefully the Tube strike will be over so we can cover more ground and not have to walk everywhere!
