Holiday in London - Day 1

The kids have a week off for their half-term break, so we took them to London for a few days.  We explored lots of museums and got really familiar with the Tube (London's subway system).  Even with all that we saw there is still so much that we did not, so hopefully we will have more opportunities to visit London in the future.

On our way to our hotel on Saturday, we passed through Kings Cross Station.  Being big Harry Potter fans, we just had to find Platform 9 and 3/4, where Harry and the other magical students would catch the Hogwarts Express.  All the kids took turns pushing their luggage carts throught the brick wall :-).

After a longer than expected travel day, we arrived in our hotel to find the elephant towel on the bed, shown below.  We were all pretty exhausted.  We decided to just spend the rest of the night in our hotel, though we did manage to go out to a nice Valentine's dinner at a nearby Italian restaurant.
