London Christmas Festivities

Image
We were so excited that our friends, Brendan and Tiffany, from Houston decided to come to London and spend Christmas with us!  This is the day they got here.  We went out to Heathrow to pick them up.  Then it was our job to keep them awake until bedtime.  So, we took them to central London to walk around in the cold all night.  That's away to keep someone awake.  At least it worked up us.  Westminster Abbey was looking rather festive that night. Big Ben was not as festive, but still beautiful nonetheless. The next day Brendan Tiff went out sightseeing while we ran errands, but later we met up with them at the Natural History Museum.  I had never been.  It's huge.  We only saw a few wings.  We started with my personal favorite: Dinosaurs! (RAWR!!!!)  But what was hilarious, is that most of the casts they have of dinos come from Utah.  Apparently, Utah is where all the cool dinosaurs hang out. We also had fun touring the hall of mammals.  Don't mind
