A Georgia Girl in Germany

As much as I would have enjoyed seeing a play in the London theatre, I figured the kids would enjoy wandering around the city on our own a bit. So, we bought a pass for the Tube, armed ourselves with lists of sights to discover for optional Girl Scout patches, and ventured out.

We began our adventure by going to Kensington Park, where we found this fountain stature of two bear cubs embracing. As always, Benjamin enjoyed dropping rocks and sticks into the water.

The Darling family, made famous by J. M. Barrie’s story, lived close to Kensington Park. And wherever the Darling children live, Peter Pan surely can’t be too far away -- and Zachary and MacKenzie found him without too much difficulty.



A little further into the park, we came across the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Walk, which led us to the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain. However, since it was late November, we had to enjoy the fountain from behind a fence since it closes earlier in the winter.

We also trekked to Trafalgar Square, where we had a magnificent view of Big Ben across the city.

The kids enjoyed getting a closer look of the lions at the base of Nelson’s Column.

Admiral Lord Nelson sure does look stately lit up with the fog rolling through.
