Family and Friends

I booked a Wimbledon tour for my parents because they've watched for a long time. We walked the museum first. It's still great to see the history of the game, and how quickly it's changed over the years. We went outside for the tour, which started closer to court 1 than centre court this time. The tour guide had more info this time, but she didn't leave much time for pictures or questions, which was a bit unfortunate. We still had a great time.

We were able to catch a friend visiting from America for lunch. It was cool because we had to do some fancy planning to line up timing and location, worked out perfectly. Great feeling to catch up with family and good friends in this great area.

Then we jumped over to Abbey Rd since my parents are fans of the Beatles. My phone didn't have a connection, so I felt like quite a local since I have the way memorised already :) My dad was laughing on the way, so excited to see it, I think. They really enjoyed seeing the sign, the cross walk and the studio, they laughed and smiled the whole time.

My mom wanted to pick up trinkets, so we stopped in Westminster on the way back. They apparently had not stood right there at Big Ben and Westminster Abbey before, so that was fun to watch. They took lots of photos and picked up some London trinkets from the many shops right there. 

We went home via train, and ate dinner at their 3rd or 4th British pub experience. They spent their next and final travel day with my wife and daughters walking around Guildford. The castle recently came out from under scaffolding, but I don't think they made it over there. Great to see them and hopefully they had a great trip, they had many nice compliments for us on their way out.
