First weekend together

We had a great family weekend. We walked all around Guildford and we spent a full day in London. The girls loved all the shops in Guildford, not to mention the easy trains to London and special places like the Guildford Spectrum (for bowling, hockey, gymnastics, wave pool, etc.)

I still use an app called "Time Out" to find special events in London. It recommended "Make.Hack.Do." this weekend, which was basically a mini STEMmerday. There were almost 20 hands on activities such as writing code, using 3d printers, playing music through fruit, etc. Great stuff. They were very excited about the 3d printers.

Then we walked through Hyde Park over to Buckingham Palace. We strolled past Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, with a quick glimpse of Westminster Abbey.

We made our way over to Hamleys so the girls could buy some Moshi Monsters. Then we walked to Trafalgar Square and had a proper British dinner there. 

Oh, from the negative perspective, we're struggling with our SIM cards on our phones, but I'm sure we'll figure it out. 

Good times had by all and here's to the amazing opportunities we have this summer!
