On our way to Paris we decided to drop by London. We are in London to celebrate the 80th birthday of my mother-in-law Marie, and to visit Westminster Abbey.
My mother-in-law is a real world traveler. She's been to Japan, Hawaii, Australia, Ireland, Paris (for someone's wedding) and Egypt to name a few. She has even been to London a few times. In fact, her first time in London was at the same time as the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in June of 1953. Unfortunately, Westminster Abbey was closed to prepare for the ceremony and Marie was not able to go in and see it. Throughout the years she returned to London, most recently in 2005, and each time Westminster Abbey was closed for one reason or another.
So, Fred and I thought that it would be cool to try again. We decided to make a trip of it. Fred, Marie, Bianca - Fred's daughter- and I hopped on a plane, which was delayed due to a "Suspicious" Man, and went to Europe.
Here are some pictures of our European Tour 2011-18 November - Travel and London
We did get to go into Westminster Abbey, but there is no photography allowed, so no pictures of the inside. BUT we do have the ticket stubs to prove it!
Enjoy,
Johnette
