Finally the London/Barcelona adventure

Well all survived the 9 hour flight from Seattle to Heathrow...Lewis is recharging himself with a sip (or three) of a latte 
Those who know me best, know that I know where to find the nearest toilet, ha!

What big brother does, little brother does

We stubbled on this park and the boys had a blast! A great way to finish our first day in London. Harrison was off walking the rope bridges
The London Eye...pretty amazing to be so high over the city while inside a small dome

 



Big Ben was by far Harrison's FAVORITE part of our trip to London

Fascinated with the water below 









Tower of London was my favorite spot when Bill and I came here 12 years ago for our honeymoon...still a favorite though a lot more crowded but neat to show Harrison and Lewis
Tower bridge

First morning in Barcelona and our little artist made a Big Ben picture...
and a London bus picture.
Meet our Dawkins boys....Jude, Asher and Silas
Jude came along with us for a city tour on a double decker bus!

Boys and a castle adventures...











Amazing architecture by Gaudi, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoni_Gaud%C3%AD


Monestir de Pedralbes


Back to London and Harrison's request to walk around to explore more of the city!



Westminister Abbey...maybe not Harrison's favorite...


Sherlock homes museum...huge hit! 


A trip with kids involves a trip to the zoo...it was so fun!






A day trip to Bath, a must! This was another one of my favorite places to visit while Bill and I were on our honeymoon. 


When in Bath, visit the Royal Crescent





Local newspaper turned into light sabers!


What a wonderful trip to London and Barcelona. Lots of memories were created and I think 85% awesome vacation with two boys and 15% wow what were we thinking! Not to bad if I say so myself! Next adventure is to Hyderabad and Kochi (August 19-September 1st)...this will be a 9 hour flight to London, short layover then 9 hours to Hyderabad. Bill will be working the first week while Harrison, Lewis and I visit dear friends. Anxiety is high as I prepare for this trip but I know with deep breathes and prayers it will be smooth...and if not it will be an adventure no matter what!

So great to see the photos! What a wonderful trip (85% of the time). The other 15% is what bonds families once you get through it. Wishing you a 85+% amazing upcoming adventure in India...love the attitude about that, btw.
