Bye Bye Dinosaur





Well... today was our LAST Friday, and Gabe's last day of work in London. So we all got up and out early with Gabe and had some breakfast and coffee at the our local Starbucks, across the street from the Gloucester Road tube stop. It was fun because this area is so familiar to us, and feels so much like home. I said to Mary-Mae, "Isn't it neat that for the rest of your life you will be able to get off the tube at this station and know exactly where you are?"

Leaving early we also had the privilege off seeing all the children going off to school in their spring uniforms. The are so fricken' cute. They wear floral dresses, with ruffle socks, overcoats and straw hats with ribbon on them!!! Can you stand it? I think it is so sweet!

Then we had an hour until - you guessed it - the Natural History Museum opened. We couldn't leave without going ONE more time.. it was where we spent the most time for sure. So Gabe went off to work, and we walked around the area and neighborhood and looked at things, and then we headed over to the Museum. They have these awesome "Explorer Backpacks" that you can check out that all have different themes, and you search the museum to find things .. very fun!! They are free and come with a hat and binoculars that you get to wear around. The kids had so much fun and we were there for 4 hours!!!!

When it was time to leave George sat down and hung his head, and I said..

"What's wrong?"

"I'm sad. I'm just going to miss this all so much."

George wears his heart on his sleeve, and I love how easy it is for him to express things...

Now we are back in the flat, Gabe just got home early, with the weekend ahead!!!
