Our England and Scotland trip ~ Day 4

Our last day in London was filled with a trip to Wembley Stadium, which was absolutely
thrilling for Campbell. Wembley is the national stadium for the England soccer team,
but Tottenham also uses it for their home games and it was pretty incredible for sure.
We also saw the Tower of London, Tower Bridge and St. Paul's Cathedral.

So many neat things to see at Wembley, even if it was closed to indoor tours because of
Tottenham's upcoming game against Real Madrid the next day. Which they won by the way.

 
 
 
The Tower of London is really amazing. And absolutely enormous.

 
 
And the Tower Bridge.

 
 
 
 
 
We finished with the incredibly impressive St. Paul's Cathedral.

And on our way back to the hotel, I felt a church talk coming on...

Our England and Scotland trip ~ Day 3

We woke up on the third day ready to explore London. Almost exactly nineteen years
ago, Jacob and I spent a couple of days here as a part of our honeymoon, so to be
back felt pretty wonderful. We were able to see several amazing London sights.

Gorgeous Hyde Park.
 
 
The lake at Hyde Park. 

Buckingham Palace (easily one of my favorites).

 
 
 
 
 Westminster Abbey (which Campbell decided was actually Hogwarts).

 
The Palace of Westminster or Houses of Parliament (depending on who you talk to).

The River Thames.

And the British Museum (with a gorgeous sunset just for me).

It was just a really wonderful day.
