On our own

Well, today we had a WONDERFUL time! Got up this morning bright & early at 8:30am and headed out to the Tower of London. Abbey had to meet a friend of hers at 11am so she took us half way on the tube then Emelia & I went the rest of the way by ourselves. Ok, actually it was only one stop away from where Abbey got off, but still...we did it by ourselves! Once we got off the tube Emelia & I made or way over to the Tower & waited in line for approx. 45 minutes to get tickets. Once we got our tickets we headed into the Tower & did our own personal tour. I decided not to do one of the guided tours since I'm sure Emelia wouldn't have enjoyed it too much &the other people on the tour would have probably kicked us off b/c they were tired of hearing "Emelia! Stop! Get back here! Slow Down...no running!" I'm sure everyone here in London knows Emelia by name now. We met up with Abbey around 2:00pm or so, grabbed a quick lunch then went on a boat tour to Greenwich. Emelia LOVED the ride & was a bit tired. (Not just because she had a full day at the Tower...but because last night she wouldn't go to sleep until after 11pm!) All in all, she had a good time. I got her picture right at the sundial where the worlds time is centered, the Greenwich time. We headed back to the city center & are now back at Ab's flat...7:20pm! We're going to heat up some dinner, Emelia's soaking off the grit & grime from the city & probably crash this evening. Oh, by the way, on the tube ride home I asked Emelia if she still loved riding the tube or not so much & her reply was "Not so much but I love the bus!" So one thing had fallen from it's former glory! Also, for those of you who are wondering, the weather is beautiful this week. Today it was 74 & sunny! I completely got a sunburn!
