London, Day 3 – 7/23/2014

A day of rest, a quiet day, with no real sightseeing….

We had a lazy start to the day, eventually making our way across the street to Kensington Gardens for a picnic.  We lounged on our blanket in the shade, had lunch, pretended to read, and RESTED.  We played cards.  The kids attempted skateboard tricks.  The “winding down” of the trip could certainly be felt, and we were content to take it easy.  We tried renting bikes, but they proved too big for Georgia, and our hearts weren’t really in it.

For dinner, an AIR-CONDITIONED pub in our neighborhood, then another show-biz commute to the West End, this time to see the comic adaptation of “The 39 Steps.”  It was HILARIOUS.  We sat right down front.  It involved four actors playing about 50 different characters; madcap British humor (sorry, HUMOUR), and the kids loved it.  We laughed ’til our stomachs hurt.

This is really a mis-representation; we were HAPPY to wait for LouAnn whenever we needed to….

LouAnn’s ENORMOUS fish & chips.  SURELY there’s no way she could finish it.

VERY tired bus ride home.  And we didn’t even exert ourselves that day!
