We visited their gift shop to see about getting their reusable trademark green bag, but after seeing the £18 price tag (for a bag!), I decided I could live without it.
Before our Harrods experience, we grabbed the last gate spot at Buckingham Palace and watched the Changing of the Guards Ceremony. It's definitely worth seeing once and if you plan on visiting, I'd recommend you get there around 10:15 (an hour before it starts), in order to get a spot on the gate. Any later and you might not see a thing! It seems like the best spot at the gate is on the right hand side of the main gates--that's where all the action was.
We popped into the House of Fraser, one of the department stores in England. My father-in-law says that you can always get a grasp on how expensive things will be in a country based on how much they charge for Levi's and Dockers...well, I'd say things are pretty dang expensive here! (That's roughly $135!!)
Anyway, GG, Grandpa, Stegen, and the Dude (Dorian) took off to the Tower of London today, while Audrey and I took a nice trip to Oxford Street to do some shopping.
The streets were over-crowded, but I was with my girl and we somehow managed to switch trains three times without getting lost! Our little family is heading back to Henley tonight while GG and Grandpa stay to explore London for a few more days. Audrey is very excited to get back to school...especially since she's been recognized for settling in so well.
I sure do enjoy your adventures in England. They really make me laugh on a regular basis.. Nice to experience this time with you guys. Jenice you are doing such a good job on keeping us all apprised of what is going on. I am truly impressed and feel closer to you than when you were in San Fran. We love you guys very much. A.J.
