The rain held off today and allowed us a nice day out and about. We began with a walk through Kensington Gardens. I would love to say that we got to run and play but the large Princess Diana playground was closed for maintance. We did see the Peter Pan statue before cutting our visit short and heading to Paddington Station…to visit Paddington Bear of course. (That was mostly for me although the girls enjoyed getting some Paddington books.)
Then it was off to meet my Cousin Lil who I haven’t seen since our wedding. It was wonderful to see her again and it was made even better by the fact that the girls connected with her right away. Together we enjoyed lunch and then did some arts and crafts. More specifically brass rubbings in the crypts of a church and then drawing paintings at the National Museum. It was very relaxing and then hard to say goodbye. I wish that she lived closer.
Before heading back to the hotel we had to make a stop at King’s Cross so that Katrine could get a photo taken going through the wall at platform 9 3/4. To say she was excited is to put it mildly.
Tomorrow we head to the British Museum and then train it up to Scotland.
