We saw many dinosaur skeletons, which were all very cool. Sophie was quite impressed be the animatronic T-Rex. She also very much enjoyed looking at the various minerals and crystals that were on display. She did not enjoy walking past the entrance to the "Creepy Crawlies" exhibit since they had a very large poster of a very gross spider. Can't say I blame her there...
After lunch at the museum, we headed over to the London Eye and rode the very large Ferris wheel. We got some excellent views of the city from up there. It was a nice way to see things. Sophie then played in the playground for awhile before we began to make our way back to the apartment.

We had dinner at an Asian place inside the big shopping complex near our apartment. It was good. While the Tube itself is very easy to use, we are having some issues with the sizes of the stations - the amount of walking we have to do to transfer lines is crazy and then once we make our way out, it is a bit confusing as to what way to go or which exist to use, but we're slowly figuring it out.
On tap for today is the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and the British Museum to see things like the Rosetta Stone and the Elgin Marbles stolen (!) from the Parthenon. I'm very excited about all of these.
I'm currently sitting around waiting for the apartment owner to show up to fix the washing machine that doesn't work. She was supposed to be here 45 minutes ago and I got up early for that reason alone. Zzzzzzzz.......
