"These feet are on fiiiiiyaaaaa!!!!!"

Today was a painful day indeed. My feet ache in memory of our adventure across London.

We began it with our breakfast actually ordered up to our room. I had bacon and fried eggs along with cereal, pineapple, and cranberry juice. Mom had an omelete and hashbrowns with a side of yogurt, cereal, orange juice, and pinapple. Charlotte originally had just ordered hashbrowns with yogurt and mixed fruit and orange juice, but Mom added scrambled eggs and pork sausages because she felt Charlotte had ordered too little. She also marked coffee and expresso for us (herself) as well. We got hot chocolate with ours.

So we ate breakfast at around 10, and I promptly went back to sleep until 12. That was when we all got up and made our plans for the day, which was to head off to the Science Museum and maybe the Festival of Love. Somehow we didn't leave until 2 though (But a broken elevator on our floor may have been part of the issue. Not really.). When we did leave, we followed the map Mom had pulled up on her iPad off and away from the route that really would have been quickest. We we're trying to avoid the crowds around the Palace.

Unfortunately for all of our feet, two constructions closing off the roads turned the map's supposed quickest route into the longest possible way from our hotel that we could have taken. Seriously. We went through a business district where we stumbled into the Westminster Cathedral, and stopped by a whole food market for drinks and food, and wandered way far off the beaten path. 

Not only were our feet aching, we got the museum close to closing time. We got to see only a little of the building, mainly the airplane exhibit and part of the mathmatics exhibit, but what we did see was pretty cool. I learned about Britain's own Ameila Earhart, a woman who carried the post during the war named Amy Jones, who was shot down by her own people but her body was never found. I also learned how to read a Japanese Abacus as well! That was awesome. While I don't appreciate the pain, I did love the museum and the adventure we had.

Then I wandered around the giftshop (because Science Museum giftshops have the coolest stuff) and discovered a few things I'm totally buying when we return. But the museum was closing up, we were tired, and all went back to the hotel. We've been were since we got back at 7, completely spent, but all in all it has been a great day.
