This morning we walked over to Kew Gardens, just a few minutes from our rental, with a pit stop at a neighbourhood park.
We visited the treetop walkway, the pagoda and several of the massive greenhouses.
The children's garden was a favourite. We've now been to two of the nicest playgrounds we've ever been to in the last two days.
After lunch back at our flat, we had planned to go to the Museum of Water and Steam that is right beside us, but unfortunately it is closed Tuesdays. Instead, we hopped on the train for a walk around the major London sights.
We managed to walk from Waterloo station to Buckingham palace then Leicester square without losing any children.
I think I also convinced the kids that the London eye is not worth the crowds and cost. They were unimpressed with how slow it goes. I think they thought it would be more like an amusement park ride than sightseeing ride. Oscar said "the monkey machine at Storybook park goes way faster!"
We had fun watching the ducks and found another great playground at St James Park. They are getting ready for the London Marathon this weekend, so there are some extra barricades and stands going up.
We grabbed dinner at another 'Spoons pub. Can't beat the prices and quick service. The kids meals are a hit too.
Back on the tube and another double decker bus ride home.
This kid loves his transit. I think the London Transportation Museum will be a big hit. I hope they can answer some of his many many questions about the trains and busses.
