Late night waffles

Our wishes for another day of good weather proved to be too greedy.  We filled our rainy day with a trip to the Imperial War Museum.  It is a museum dedicated to every war that Britain has fought in during the modern era.  The boys loved all of the examples of bombs, planes, ships, and weapons.  It also had a section filled with the history of the Holocaust.  What a moving experience, should be a good warm up to our visit to the concentration camp in Munich.  For lunch we made our way over to one of the many shopping districts.  We ogled our way through Harrods department store and had lunch at Harvey Nichols.  They had a sushi restaurant where the dishes came by on a conveyor belt and you choose what looked good.  Each color of plate was a different price, pretty genius I think.  The highlight of our day was the evening performance of Wicked.  Everyone loved it, but especially Taylor.  We were all humming the tunes when we got back to the hotel.  Bill then took us to his favorite late night haunt for ice cream and waffles. DELICIOUS!

I LOVED Wicked when I saw it with Mom years ago. Sounds like it's still a good show!
