A special day and a half in London, England

Buckingham, PalaceLJ does a cartwheel in front of Buckingham Palace.
After Glasgow, it was on to London via train.

We went to London specifically to see the Palace of Westminster (and we had to stop there anyway en route to our next destination).

Going to see Westminster is not unusual; most people who go to London see the Houses of Parliament.

Our last week at home in Ottawa was a good one.

It was just what she needed – a week of doing what she loves most and boosting her confidence rather than a week focussed on the fact that she was leaving her friends.

It also gave L and I some time to get stuff done…And there was A LOT to get done! We packed, we cleaned, we did errands, we freaked out a bit...
