Date of this trip: January 6-9, 2013
The last stop of the Coppedge/Hall/McCall extended Christmas vacation was London.
Unfortunately, Westminster Abbey was closed for viewing.
Inside the Tower of London
This photo above is taken very near the location of Anne Boleyn's execution.
"Fit for a King"-The Royal Armoury Exhibition
This fascinating exhibition displays five hundred years of royal armour.
Buckingham Palace
Changing of the guards
After strolling through Hyde Park (and picturing the beginning of the movie 101 Dalmatians) on my last morning in London, I stumbled upon these two interesting buildings.
The last stop of the Coppedge/Hall/McCall extended Christmas vacation was London.
Back in London!
Mom and dad had never before been to London so, naturally, we went to see the major sites.
London Eye
Approaching Parliament from the South Bank
Parliament building and Big Ben
Westminster Abbey
Entrance into the Abbey
Buildings along the River Thames
Tower Bridge
Love my sweet sister!!
Tower of London
This photo above is taken very near the location of Anne Boleyn's execution.
Unfortunately, visitors are not allowed to take photos of the Crown Jewels. The giant room of the royal jewels is spectacular! If you are a fan of jewelry, I highly recommend that you plan some extra time for this visit!
When you visit the Tower of London, I highly recommend that you wait to walk around with a group tour guided by a "Yeoman Warder." Our Yeoman Warder (they do NOT like to be called "beef eaters") was quite entertaining and thorough explaining the tower's history.
Buckingham Palace
There's always something new and exciting to find in London!
