We got back a few days ago from a trip to London. Charlotte and I met Brian on his way home from a conference in Spain. It was a lot of fun, and also tiring. Charlotte wants to walk everywhere these days, so getting her into her stroller on busy streets turned into a wrestling match more than once. We saw a lot of the sights, though, and had some really good food.

Charlotte became obsessed with this backpack at the Tate Modern museum store.

We visited some great playgrounds in London. The Princess Diana memorial playground was huge, with a giant pirate ship, tunnels, teepees and lots of swings and slides. This one below was smaller and had goats and sheep roaming around.

Brian took these pictures from the London Eye.

We spent most of a day at the Tower of London, which is in the background here.

Inside the Tower of London–one of the Buckingham Palace guards seemed to be on loan.
