The London Eye

A couple weeks ago, when my mom was here, we went on the London Eye... another 'must do' if you're ever in London! We were able to go right around sundown, it was beautiful and the view was amazing!


this is obviously not on the Eye, but we saw it on our way, and really, who can resist these cardboard cutouts!


this one cracks me up!


here it is-
it is 443 ft tall
on a clear day you can see 25 miles from the top
one revolution takes 30 min (you get on and off while it's moving)
it took 7 years to build
(and yes... i had to do the conversions from meters and km so we can all understand!)


the boys sat down just long enough to take a picture... then they were glued to the glass staring down


i made sure to have my mom take lots of pictures of me and jonathan and our family while she was here!


like i said, glued to the windows





views from the top!

they turned around for a few seconds to humor us while we took pictures


there was a really sweet american couple that took a group shot for us
everyone in our pod kept laughing every time we took pictures because blake and adam would automatically start yelling "cheese" (they've been trained well). there was also another couple in the pod right below us that blake and adam were waving and blowing kisses too, they loved it.... it was adorable! we had so much fun!

Wow. That's incredible. I am planning to go there someday, so I'm glad you are giving tips on all the "must sees." :)
