Kensington Palace

Here are a few photos from our tour through Kensington Palace as well as our run-in with Matt Lauer at Kensington Palace the day they were filming the Today Show.  I was SO excited to see Matt in person, and even managed to get a picture with him!

Olympic Stadium, Greenwich, & Buckingham Palace

As we are getting closer to leaving London, we are trying to fit in as many last-minute activities as we can.  Hannah and I spent Friday and Saturday as tourists checking out some of the hot spots in London.  We went to Stratford to see where the Olympics are going to be held this summer, then we took a train ride over to Greenwich to go to the National Maritime Museum (where the Prime Meridian lies) and scope out the area.  Lastly, we went to Buckingham Palace to watch the changing of the guards and walk through St. James's Park.
