My First Trip To London

So, I finally set foot in Europe on April 26, 2015.  I fell in love the minute I stepped out of the taxi.  It felt like home.  The home that I had left behind right after I got married.  I love city life. I love the sound of cars passing by, people walking all over the place, buses and taxis everywhere, cars parked on the streets.  I was in love!!!
 
As I was walking from our hotel, I realized a home just three doors down from the hotel, someone very famous had lived long ago. 
 

 
 
We had a great start.  The first day we were able to do some sightseeing.  We took the boys to the London Zoo (they wanted to go to LEGOLAND).  It was so nice to have a zoo right in the city.  The boys are pretending to be gorillas. 
 

 

 

The next couple of days was home searching.  We went through a lot of home with kids in tow.  They did such a great job.  Gitesh and I were so proud of them.  We started to realize just how different homes in London are.  They are narrow and tall.  Most homes we saw were at least 3 stories tall with little garden in the back.  I guess this is something we will have to get used to. 

 

We did some more sightseeing.  We were able to take the boys to Natural History Museum.  I was in awe at the architecture of this massive building.  It is just breath-taking. 

 

 

We ended up in a wing where they had Minerals.  It was great for Aarav since he just finished doing research on it.  The Mineral room is massive. 

 

 

 

On our last full day in London, we went to see two major sights. 



London Eye





Big Ben
 

 

 



 



 

We all really enjoyed our trip before the big move.  We are all looking forward to living in London, but we will miss all our family and friends at the same time.  I hope some of you will come and visit us.  We look forward to having you over.
