Our day started bright and early...2 am for the kids and 5 am for Bill and I.  We spent the day with our guide Jeremy.  He drove us all around London and took us to some of the highlights.  One of the places we went was Westminster Abbey ( pictures were not permitted ).  We walked over the tombs of Charles Dickens and Charles Darwin, along with many others.  We saw the changing of the Royal Guard, ate authentic fish & chips, and saw Medieval weaponry and armor at the London Tower.  We also saw the crown jewels which include a 500 carat diamond in Queen Elizabeth's II scepter.  We were so grateful the weather cooperated, we have our fingers crossed for another beautiful day tomorrow!
