Final Trip to London

Thursday was our last full day here, and we wanted to go to London one more time. Kim felt ready to give it a try, and with Conner to help with the baby, we were off. We made our way on the Tube to Westminster Station, which is next to Westminster Pier where we boarded a boat to Greenwich. We traveled back to London on the Docklands Lightrail and caught a bus to the Savoy on the Strand; Covent Garden is just up the hill. Kim decided it might be wise to take a taxi to London Bridge Station so we could catch the 4:59 train back to Edenbridge.

Another fun day out. It was our last. We fly home Friday just before noon and will be back in Utah Friday evening. Thanks to the Boyntons for having us. We had a great time!

That's all for now.
