Transportation Museum

Our primary activity today was going to the Transportation Museum.  It contained a brief history of transportation in the city of London over the last 250 years or so.  There were lots of things for the kids to touch and climb on, and an appropriate level of information to keep the mild transportation enthusiast interested.  The kids also got little passports to stamp at various spots that kept them motivated to move, top level museum.

We had a picnic lunch at the museum but didn't pack quite enough food, so we headed straight to the pub to get a bit more to eat and drink!  It was amazing of course.

Then we tricked the kids in to doing some sight seeing down town by taking the scenic route between 3 playgrounds.  The sights that we saw couldn't have been all that great, since we did not bother to take any photos, but we definitely saw some sights.

We took a train and double decker bus home from there, had a kickaround in the courtyard of the apartment while Kristin made supper, then ate went to sleep.
