So I was right and jet lag struck my little travelers with a vengeance.....at 4am....hehehe
We got ourselves organized early and headed out to catch the 8.31am train to London. We had a 10am reservation of the London Eye and it was fantastic!

After the London Eye Lauren opted for a stop at the London Aquarium. I had not eve thought of visiting here...but I think we have a budding marine biologist in our midst. Lauren LOVES fish. Who would ever have guessed.

We had a god fun couple of hours in the cool of the aquarium before heading back out into the 30 degree day that London put on for our arrival. It was awesome - but darn hot! We ate lunch at 'EAT' - think Pret a Manger on steroids, and then headed back out to try and find a boat down the river. After much walking we decided against pursuing the option and headed off for some more....shopping!!! These girls are happy if the shop every single day!!!! We visited Bond Street - the home of all the big English stores like Marks and Spencer, Next, Gap, Primark (ask Lauren for a look at her £3 onesie when she gets home!) and Zara. The shops shut at 5 in London on Sundays, and our feet were feeling the pressure so we headed home for Ready Meal Dinners (Hestons Lasagne or Venison Shepherds Pie anyone?) and then a nice early night to try and beat off the jet lag.
This is Jordan's scribe, since Jordan is hovering over a bowl. Jordan says this eel thing is very cute.
