Family went up to London last weekend. Just wanted to show my son the musuems up there cause they're brilliant and very interesting. Basically he just wanted to see dinosaur bones.
Took the train up as we haven't done the train thing in a while, and we wanted to take the tube as well.
There's nothing like trying to get about London. It was a Sunday, but you'd never guess that if you're not used to London. That's the only time I get 'big city awe syndrome' in the UK really. The escalators underground are so steep and you have to walk through all these tunnels and usually its about 2 flights of escalators deep underground. Long and steep escalators, not your regular mall length, its amazing.
It is the oldest in undergound system in the world, and started in the mid 1800's. Which would account for alot of its 'kinks'. Very advanced for that period in history when you think about it.
Our trip was to Natural Science first of all - by mistake. I couldn't remember which one it was. I know Natural History makes sense but never mind. We weren't big on the Science one it was ok, the energy part was really interesting though and lots of stuff to do.
Then we went to Natural History after which is the best museum that I've ever been to. See pics on my PHOTO ALBUM .
Afterwards we saw some ice skating going on. It was gone 5.30pm when we left the museum (which is night time these days) and the trees were all lit up. I felt like I was in a christmas movie or something, it was very majestic. Then we went over to Piccadilly Circus before we headed home
It takes about 1hr and 40mins from Southampton to London Waterloo and vice versa. We got back home just gone 9pm. Was a really good day out.

He's fantastic, he really is. His teacher told us back in Sept that her main worry with him is how to challenge him for the rest of the school year as he's above & beyond (her words) the levels other kids in his class are at and for his age. To think he only just entered year 1 (= trini 2nd yr).I'm really proud of him.
They don't skip kids though so he has to ride it out
