I'm not going to post any more St. Paul's Pictures, there is other stuff to Discuss...

So- on my Birthday, 18 June 2013- we visited, The Old Bailey Court, Scotland Yard, Metropolitan Police Museum, Westminster Abbey, and Hard Rock Cafe for my birthday dinner. Busy day. We couldn't take any pictures inside the Old Bailey and a civil case regarding fraud was going on...zzzzzzzzzzzzz- I wanted to fall over in the pew and go to sleep- but the small court room's architecture is amazing- beautiful quarter sewn oak everywhere. At Scotland Yard- we had a very nice officer come and speak to us- he gave us all kinds of trinkets to take back to the states- the best was a New Scotland Yard Patch. At the Metropolitan Police Museum we discovered all kinds of history behind every "tool" that our forefathers of police utilized. One of the items on displayed was Sir Robert Peel's walking cane.

After the Mets Museum we scurried over to Westminster Abbey for the 1700 Evensong Service- and the Alter/Choir Boys Choir sings- it was beautiful and that Cathedral was absolutely stunning. The West Minster Abbey is where Princess Diana's funeral service was held and where Prince William and Kate were married. Pictures were not allowed. So, and my birthday dinner was really good at Hard Rock Cafe of London- it was going to be a 2 hour wait to get seated and nobody wanted to wait to eat- so "the group" of 11 dwindled down to just 4- but that's ok because I got an awesome meal and a pretty rockin' place to sit.

Loved sitting at this table along side this neon sign

The staff and customers around me are singing "Happy Birthday" to me- I think I'm embarrassed

St. Paul's Cathedral

Hi! Just dashing in and I'm off again- will post more of these pictures later- viewed St. Paul's Cathedral today... awesome! And- we climbed 573 steps to the top dome!

London Eye

The London Eye is spectacular!!! A chance to take some beautiful pictures- although, my battery was low by the end of the day and I don't have many... "why not?!!"- hahaha

Waiting in line with our group of 12?

I love this picture that I took... almost, Sherlock Holmesy

Chief had to have some icecream- so he got a "Double Soft Serve"

River Thames at night

Happy Father's Day...we went to Camden Market!

Well, yesterday one of the market's we went to was, The Portebello- which I really didn't care for- but the one we went to today, they had to drug me to get me out of there... hahahahhaha- whatever. Could have been a very good, true story? And- I didn't get loads of pictures because I was too busy bumping into thousands of other gawkers spendin' some legal tender!

Eating an awesome Spinach, Roasted Tomato Crepe!!! I have to eat- like most of the time when I shop since shopping totally drains my energy levels- it is such an adrenaline rush for me...like conducting a felony stop while I'm on the job! ;)

These "theft" signs are all over London

Hahahahha... love it!

God Save The Queen!

Today we viewed Trooping the Colour- the Queen's Birthday Parade. The Queen inspects the troops and then rides in her carriage back to Buckingham Palace. Once she rolls out- she is galavantin' around in that durn carriage for nearly an hour. The Queen will be 88 years old.
