bWe went to London, Stockton on Tees and Paris. It was such a nice trip with my mom, dad, Stephanie and Blake. We also want to thank Lynn and Alton for their help during the trip.
We started out the trip at the airport which Blake did enjoy all the planes. He did really well on the plane which we were very happy about. No one even knew a youngster was around them.

Once we arrived, we got a ride to our apartment which is in a great part of London. It overlooked the river Thames and Lambeth which was the scene for the roundabout in European Vacation. You could see Big Ben and Parliament right from the living area. It was sweet to say the least.

We decided to head out right away and check out London. River Thames and to a park right by parliament. Over to Parliament. Westminster Abbey. Just taking it all in.

Day 2 we had the big objective to take in some more of the city and then to Buckingham Palace. There are not pictures allowed in the palace, but it is pretty nice. After the tour you come out on the grounds and you can take some pictures and it just a beautiful place.

After Buckingham palace, our goal was to get The Albert which was a great pub that we saw on the way to Buckingham palace. We did quite a bit of walking as we took in the city.
