Walking up the Thames River we got to see some wonderful sites. Michele
enjoyed the bridge the most because she has recently purchased a small Tower Bridge collectable for her
new display case. Now she can say she has been there. |

Our first big trip in the UK was to London. We spent most of one day riding
the subway and walking among the busy streets. Our highlight of the day was seeing the Tower Bridge.

Before walking along the Thames we rode the Subway and walked the busy
streets of London. Jessica enjoyed the shopping at Picadilly Circus and the busy streets. Behind her is
another of London's well known sites a double decker tour bus. |

Anthony enjoyed looking at this British warship, "The HMS Belfast." He
wanted both of his Grandpas to see this photo because they both have an interest in ships. The Belfast
saw action in WWII and last in the Korean conflict. Today it is one of the many sights to see along the
Thames. |

Our last stop of the day was a flight on the London Eye...Flight you ask?
Yes at over 135 meters tall the London Eye is the worlds largest Ferris Wheel. This photo I took off the
official website |

London's Tower Bridge completed in 1894, after 8 years of construction.

Our flight on the London Eye came at night. Taking 30 minutes to make one
trip up and down you are able to see all of London's historic landmarks. In the middle right of this
photo you can see Parliament and the circular face of "Big Ben". To the middle left you can see the
outline of the capsule ahead of us as we reached the peak of the wheel. Yes I took this photo, its a
little dark but wow what a sight... |

Prior to our trip to London, the kids and I were on base (RAF Mildenhall) and
ran into another of Britain's well-known features: The red telephone booth... This is a classic.
