L O N D O N !!!!Truly, we sure wish we had more time in this amazing city. So rich with history and the people were absolutely a delight!
We took off on a Thursday and came back Sunday. It was Veterans Day weekend. In fact, it was their "Remembrance" Day weekend too, so it was unusually crowded...and I mean CROWDED! That didn't stop us from having lots of fun though:) Just wish we could have been there in the warmer weather to enjoy the parks.
So, here's some pictures to highlight our adventures.
We took a double-decker bus tour which ended up being super worth it with two little boys and pretty chilly weather.
Took us a while to pick a spot to eat for fish and chips...but we finally found some! :) Notice, Noah is zonked in the backpack carrier! LOL
Next stop...Tower of London! This ended up being the only "Museum" we went in...with little ones museums are just not a good idea!
Here's some fun pictures from around the city.
Me pointing at the building they affectionately call the "Gerkin" bc it looks like a giant pickle!
Yes, of course we took a stroll through Harrods!!! 
The best thing about that place was that their childrens floor had an amazing baby changing room...with 3 separate changing stations, complete with their own sinks and changing pads!!! Yes, a travel weary Mommy's dream!Jon, in keeping with tradition, would get up early and run around to scope out the city...this time he brought the camera with him! Great shots Jon!!!
This one is soooo frame worthy don't you think???Our bus tour also came with a free river boat tour....Noah absolutely loved it! He got to ride on a plane, train, bus...AND boat!
Other highlights....London Eye
The National flower for Remembrance is the Poppy....
so there were poppy wreaths...and paper poppies being sold everywhere that weekend.
In front of Westminster AbbeyThese guys reminded me of the "oh wee oh, yooooo hoooo" dudes from Wizard of OZ:)
Of course the obligatory pic outside Buckingham Palace
There was also some interesting parades...
Horse Guard:)
Trafalgar Square!
Eating a traditional English meal....
And...we had to take Noah to Hamley's Toy store 
(It's like a glorified FAO Schwartz) He was overwhelmed at first..(just like I was in Harrods! LOL)
And...James did GREAT on the plane!!!!
Lovely time indeed!
Stroller free! We carried both boys, Jon had Noah in the backpack carrier...and I carried baby James:)

Great pics! Im so pleased you had a nice time, as the boys grow you will discover many more things to see and do in London but at some point you must get into the countryside! xx We did a trip like this in Prague carrying in the boys, its a great workout!!
Looks like you had a great time! And your little guys are precious! :)
This is the one trip we always wanted to do but never were able too. We even had tickets, but a very sick little Gunnar made it so we had to cancel all plans. So glad I could live through your pictures...maybe one day.
I knew exactly where you had gone when I read the post title, "Mind the Gap!" We couldn't stop laughing when we heard that in the subway. Love the pics!
Great pictures!! I can tell what a great time y'all had.
