tate modern, kew gardens














Well, our weekend was jam-packed with sightseeing and lots of fun with uncle Paul. On Saturday, we spent the day at the Tate Modern, where the girls looked at lots of art with Paul. I don't have many pictures of this because while Paul took the girls around the museum Frank and I enjoyed some drinks at the roof top bar overlooking London-- fabulous (thank you Paul!)!! Ruby slept on Frank's back the whole time. Sunday was spent at Kew Gardens, which is the Royal Botanic Gardens, where there was every kind of tree and plant imaginable. Ruby got her 1st souvenir! It's kind of unbelievable that I packed enough clothes for all 6 of us and plenty of things to keep the older girls happy for a month, but not a single toy for Ruby. She was getting tired of chewing on Purell bottles and Altoid containers, so we finally bought her a toy. She was thrilled!

  2. What happy faces!!! Poor Ruby...had no toys. She still seems to have fared well. I can't believe she would just sleep on Frank's back like that...she's a real trooper. Love you all so much...Mom mom
