  2. Well, it was a photo scavenger hunt. So we were judged on time, creativity, and knowledge (we had to answer questions about each location). We arrived second, had really awesome photos, and missed one question. The team who got first arrived before us, had awesome photos as well, and didn't miss any questions. But it was loads of fun!

  3. Loved the pictures!
    I was wondering where the handprints were.They were not there on our last visit to London. I wonder when they were done? Did you happen to see the Town Crier? Did you discover the half price ticket booth for play tickets??? I am getting so much enjoyment out of your time in London. Hugs!!!
