June Update

Apart from work, I haven’t made it to the parks since my Starcruiser stay, but last weekend a friend of the kids was in town, so they spent some time at Epcot. 

On Saturday afternoon they went to the Studios, and ate at the new BBQ restaurant in Toy Story Land.

On Sunday they visited Animal Kingdom, and on Monday hung out in Disney Springs. 

There wasn’t a lot of rain this spring so the water level in the pond next to our house has gotten a little low. One of our alligators has taken to lying on a head wall that’s usually underwater. 

Today Jenn released her fourth novel. She continues to sign her books at the Barnes and Noble where she works part-time.

Europe Day 22 & 23 London Again

Tuesday morning we headed out to Camden Market and walked through the shops and stalls. It was interesting seeing how they had repurposed some of the old buildings and some of the stuff for sale. A lot of the food booths smelled pretty good but we had eaten a big breakfast at the hotel. 

Just before noon we took the Tube down to St Paul’s cathedral. It was over $20 to take a tour however, so we decided against it. We walked over the Millennium Bridge and looked at the Globe Theater then continued on down river to the Tower Bridge.

We then took the Tube to Freemason’s Hall. They weren’t offering tours, but we were able to look through the museum and library. We ate a late lunch at a nearby pub, then walked to Covent Garden. From there we took the Tube back to the hotel and started packing our bags for the flight home. 

Yesterday morning after breakfast we walked to the Imperial College, which I used to frequent during my college program. We then walked up to the park so Susan could see the Royal Albert Hall and Albert Memorial. From there we headed back to the hotel and called an Uber XL to take us to the airport for our flight home.
