London in 300 words or less

Meek, mild-mannered Silas transforms into Superman, man of steel in the shelter of a Hyde Park telephone booth.

Orrin poses with a giant stuffed bear dressed as a Beefeater (the bear not Orrin).

Silas at the private execution site in the Tower of London, where 3 of Henry VIII's wives head's were caught on a pillow. The memorial on the site consists of a frosted glass pillow. Weird, but I don't know how you would mark such a gruesome place.

Bridget and Silas with a lion statue on Trafalgar Square. Thank goodness the camera was not shooting only moments before as Bridget nearly ripped the seat of her pants trying to climb up to the stupid statue.

Silas tries out a new/old style at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Silas digs the fun house mirrors in the basement of the London Science Museum.

So we kind of fell down on the picture taking job this trip. Mostly, I look greasy and pissed off, Silas is sleeping or looking pissed off that he is STILL in the stroller, Orrin at least looks happy, but his eyes are closed in most of the photos. Still, that photo of Silas in the ruff, that was worth the whole trip right there.

Hey, I'm actually posting from London. We're staying at a hostel with Internet access, and since i had to get up early with Silas, I'm treating myself to the Internets! Meanwhile Silas dances to music videos (vintage Elton john, Lisa Loeb, the cranberries) and tries to break into the loaves of bread that are stacked in this room, outside the breakfast area. OK, now he's trying to squish the loaves of bread. And now, I think we may have to go change a nappy.
So yesterday we went to the Tower of London, then took the underground to Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, and Westminster Abbey. For dinner we walked through Trafalgar Square, and Piccadilly Circus and finally went to a place called Yo!Sushi, one of those paces with a giant conveyer belt that carries the sushi around and you just grab what you want- color coded dishes tell you the price.
Today we're headed to the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Science museum. Sunday, either the British Museum or the National Gallery. Feel free to vote on our itinerary! More when we get home!
