The Boltons Go to Jolly Ol' London


Wes had a business trip to the UK and Grace and I tagged along. He was kind enough to let us stay in London, city center, and commute each day to Ware. Although it was only 35 miles away, it took him two hours each way and about two miles of walking. I don't feel to much guilt since he flew first class and Grace and I were mere peasants in coach.

Well, Grace did wonderful traveling and sightseeing. She and I toured the city every day. Wes had about 3 days of free time and on those days we visited museums and toured the city. WE used the "tube" and buses to get around the city. Londoners were very kind and helpful. Grace loved smiling and trying to get every one's attention. Wes had a grand time "car watching"!

Grace and I had afternoon tea at the Orangery at Kensington Palace. It was a cold and rainy day, perfect for a warm cup of tea and cucumber sandwiches.
