Christmas 2012 was a new kind of Christmas. My mom traveled to London and we spent a week here doing touristy things. It was very different, but a lot of fun. Sadly the only photos I have at the moment are from my phone. I took a lot with her camera, but then forgot my SD card reader and couldn’t get the photos on to my computer! Ah well. Hopefully my iPhone pics will suffice for now.
Over the course of the week we:
- Wandered around Christmas markets on the Thames
- Climbed the dome at St. Paul’s Catherdral
- Shopped on Oxford Street
- Did a Charles Dickens walking tour (around Trafalgar Square, Embankment, West End, Covent Garden)
- Toured Westminster Abbey
- Saw The Hobbit at the IMAX
- Visited Harrodds
- Wandered the Science Museum, Victoria & Albert Museum, and The Natural History Museum.
- Wandered Hyde Park
- Ate at Hummingbird Bakery
- Went to North London for dinner with Sally and Karen
- Toured Tower of London
- Visited Buckingham Palace
- Visited The British Museum

I think she had a good time in London. She kept talking about wanting to come again, so that’s a good sign!
