Tower of London and St Paul's Cathedral

Dan, Bells and I went down to London Monday. We couldn't ask for any better weather...sunny, warm...it just made our day out even better. It was so nice and I was so distracted that we hardly took any pictures.
We didn't get to go up all the towers...Dan did a couple but we did see the crown jewels and I think the most interesting part of the trip was when I was waiting on a bench with Bells while Dan went up the Bloody Tower and I listened about how the men there become Yeomen. I had no idea these men needed all these credentials and that they actually live at the Tower of London with their families...what a SUPER cool place to live...well minus the fact I'm sure it's haunted.
We opted to walk down to St Paul's Cathedral instead of the tube. Dan hates the tube and it was so nice outside...perfect day to walk along the Thames River. We could have taken a super cute picture looking at the London Bridge...but we didn't. We enjoyed pushing Bells and walking holding hands. Dan got to see the Millennium Bridge...it's the bridge in Harry Potter the Half Blood Prince, that gets all torn up. I had seen the cathedral...but Dan enjoyed that as well. It's so beautiful. We just strolled along the inside and the gardens and of course through the crypt. A perfect day with two out of four of my favorite people.
