After a long day with several stops along the way, we finally made it to London. It was already late in the afternoon. Even so, we wanted to bring mom in and let her see some sites. Being we were staying on the outskirts, we took a couple tubes in.

Mom is settling in well to riding the tube.

Mom had no idea where we were heading. When the Westminster stop was finally announced, we started talking over the announcement … “Exit here for House of Parliament, Westminster Abbey …” so that she didn’t hear any of it. Once we exited the station, and mom looked up, she was stood still in absolute disbelief.  Her head looked upwards, her mouth dropped, and she kept saying, “Oh my God, Oh my God. that’s the Big Ben. Oh my God.”  :)

Derry was great with mom, often walking her around as she looked at everything in disbelief.  We went to Westminster Cathedral.  At that point it started to rain.  Mom was fine with the rain saying she was in England, she was expecting it to rain.   It was a quick shower and the skies started to clear.

Derry walking mom around.

Mom sure looks happy!
