a few day in pictures

As I said before, Julia was a very good traveler. She even helped at times which was delightful. As a help to her, I did a verbal list of what we had to do and then ticked offed the items on the list as each was done. Here she is waiting for the bus to the tram to the airport.

St Albans is a very old town. The Romans were there and left some buildings behind. The cathedral was started by the Normals and the added to ever few centuries. This is a picture of a tiny door we found on one side of the bell tower. Just the perfect size for our little girl dinosaur.

At the door of the cathedral in St Albans. We only spent a little time walking through. Ches and I have been there before but I wanted Julia to breath in a bit of the ancient even though I knew she would not really understand much.
Just a nice picture of the two prettiest girls in London this week.
Julia's first train ride going into London. She really liked it, and the underground was also a fascination for her.
Julia posing in front of London's Museum of Natural History. A great place for kids and adults, by the way.
A building picture to show a bit of the vastness of the place. There is a whole new side which is as large as this older side of the building.
Just gotta love gargoyles!
Julia showing off her dino knowledge. Really, it continues to amaze me how many she knows. And now, if she can't figure who the bones belong to, she guesses based on looks and many times comes up with similar dinosaurs.
Julia loved this cool column with created fossils.
And we saw many, many animals, fish, and birds that were stuffed and in glass cases. At first we had a seemingly unending loop of 'are they alive?' 'were they alive?' 'how did they die?' 'how do they look so good?' But sooner than I thought, she stopped with those questions and starting asking about attributes of animals which is much more fun to answer.
After a busy day, we returned to Victoria Station and started our journey to our little house. Julia really enjoyed a piece of carrot cake before heading for St. Albans. We managed to find a Chinese restaurant on our way home and she enjoyed some noodles when we got to the little house.
