The world is a playground, and life is pushing my swing.**

Re-joining forces, Hyatt & I took the boys to Kensington Palace, the Royal Residence of the British Royal Family. Home to Charles and Diana which remained her home after they divorced. It still houses the members of the Royal Family (Aunt's, cousins, Princesses) in the apartments connected to the museum, which is government owned. We got to see the various fashions worn, from 1689 to 2000 (ending with Princess Diana).
Then we took the kids to the coolest playground: The Princess Diana Memorial Playground. Its Neverland themed (Peter Pan) with a huge Pirate Ship, Tee Pees, a stone Crocodile (that is a water area in summer), swings, little tree houses, a sand pit, and a locked Treasure Chest. The boys loved it.


By the end of the day, Jasper needed a drink....

...and I needed some retail therapy. Once I saw Angel Winged lights, I knew I'd found peace. (Cucumber Alley)

I'm EXHAUSTED, and miss home, but vacation time will soon be over so I'm also making sure to enjoy these last few days while I can.
