Dad and Jeff Go to London

Wednesday, July 25, 2012
My brother, Jeff, starts med school in a couple weeks and as his last "Hoo-Rah" he accompanied my Dad on a business trip to London. Jeff went a couple days early for some extra exploring and was able to sightsee while Dad was in meetings. Here's what Jeff had to say about the trip:

"Trip was great. Glad I was able to go. It was a perk staying in Dad's hotel (awesome location). I used the underground many times, and was able to get around quickly to many different places. Dad and I were able to go to Churchill War Rooms (underground bunker where British WWII decisions were made). On my own I saw Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's (favorite), Tower of London and Old Globe Theatre (saw Taming of the Shrew there). We also saw the musical Wicked on one of the nights (Good performance, plot was a stretch). I went to olympic park, but could not get very close. 

I really liked London. It was obviously looking its best due to the olympics.  I want to go back again!"

Jeff's Commentary is included in the picture captions.
