Across the Pond...: Girls Overnight

Every Spring, Lanie and I go for an overnight away by ourselves.... it's special mommy/daughter time and a tradition that I hope will last, well, for a lifetime. This year, we made a trip into London and went to see Wicked. She loved it! We stayed near the Tower of London and visited there today. The Beefeater's tour was a bit too much information, so we wandered off by ourselves for the self-guided family tour. I think that the highlight for both of us was going to see the crown jewels, where they had a video loop of Elizabeth II's coronation for viewing before going to see the actual crown - very cool since we are celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee (commemorating her 60 years of reign) in June.
