We had a Nascar load of visitors over from North Carolina. Uncle Joey, Aunt Kristen and Cousin Troy all came to visit us. Thy visited friends in Coventry before coming over to Cheveley for a few days. The kids were in school so they did the Cambridge sites and managed to sneak down to London one day and see the matinee show of Wicked. On Thursday, we threw Joey, Kristen, MJ, and Mags on the train from Cambridge and their Amazing Race quest was to find our hotel in London (since we all couldn't fit in a car together). M&V brought John and Troy in the car with all the luggage. In London, we did the whirlwind tour of the sites. The cousins were mainly interested in playing and would rather play tag around the sites than actually try to learn something. Here they are not paying attention at the Tower of London. They did enjoy Trafalgar Square since they could climb on the Lion statues that are made out of captured canons. We did the hop-on-hop off bus tour (which was great because we have never done it) and also took a boat tour on the Thames. We nipped into the Tate Museum because there was an exhibit that Uncle Joey really wanted to see. John and Troy decided that they would pass the time climbing in the cubes. Boys will be boys.
The weather was cold and a little rainy so the bus and boat were nice and dry but it was nice to see the colors showing that spring was just around the corner. The shot with Joey, Kristen, and Vivian is at St. Paul's Cathedral. The last shot is
from the warm and dry river cruise boat.
