Travelin' Bear

Rich had the most brilliant idea (note the British accent) to buy Alicyn this cute little bear from Windsor Castle on his first day out exploring. From this day forward, the bear went everywhere with him. He took pictures all over London with Alicyn's bear. It was the next best thing to her being there with us. I would have never thought to do this but so glad that he did. The bear has actualy seen more of London than I have.



With the Ice People in central London - this area is called Covent Gardens. There were street entertainers here every few steps. Nice shopping and eateries.

In front of London Tower, they were catapulting water balloons but never hit the target.

On London Bridge looking over to the London Eye. We heard from some locals that this was not all its cracked up to be, so we only looked and didn't ride.

Mom and Dad on London Bridge with Big Ben. I have to admit, it was pretty. But it looks the same on TV as it does in person. Lol.

WAIT! And you better be paying attention to what these say or you will get run over! I have never seen so many cars and buses and people definitely don't have the right away. Its kind of hard to remember to look the opposite way!

Big Ben again.

Buckingham Palace just after the changing of the guards.

The police officer was thrilled to take a picture with Rich and the bear (now named Elizabeth after the Queen). Can't believe they don't carry guns. Just wear the goofy hats and have clubs.

More bear pics coming on another post.....stay tuned.
