On Thursday, April 21st, we had to make our way to London to apply for our civilian travel passports. We took our first trip on the tube (pictures below) and went to the U.S. Embassy.
You may be wondering about the title of this post and this will explain it all. We stood outside the Embassy to get called to the security check point. The security guard asked to see our ID's. At that time the kids and myself had our official passports and AJ only had his civilian passport. When the security guard looked at our ID's he made the comment that the kids and I were Diplomats and AJ was a tourist. The three of us were able to skip the security check point and take in my cell phone and camera (tourists had to check all electronics in). AJ had to get scanned and they even handed me his car key because I was able to take it in and he wasn't. They treated the kids and I like we were high profile people and AJ like a regular civilian. It was the funniest thing I have experienced in the longest time. Even when we left a security guard that didn't check us in asked if we had any items check and the other security guard was like "oh no they are okay, you have a great day". LOL The rest of the day I made sure AJ remembered we were better than him (even though we are here because of him).
Below are pictures of our trip to London and Hyde Park, enjoy...
Had to start to morning trip to London with some London fog.
Alyssa acting like a local on the tube..too funny.
Asher's first trip on the tube...not sure of it at first.
Alyssa relaxing on the tube..it lost its "Wow" factor pretty fast.
AJ and Alyssa enjoying some lunch under a tree in Hyde Park and Asher enjoying his afternoon nap in the stroller. The day had the most beautiful weather.
Playing together on the grass in Hyde Park. Blending in with the locals .
Loving the brother. Too cute.
LOL..doesnt need any explanation.
I just love how he sits up so straight. I hope to learn from him and stop slouching.
Not sure if any of you know that we don't have a little girl we have a doggie, kittie, lion, or any other animal she can come up with. It is very rare that she is a little girl.
Loving the Daddy! One of the best pictures of them.
Notice our boy doesn't have a shirt on. Well lets just say we had a major BLOWOUT!! And of course us Americans changed our child right there in Hyde Park. Once we changed him he decided he was empty and needed to fill back up with a bottle. BTW we had to throw out a perfectly good shirt :(.
I swear our child can find a horsey anywhere we are. She was so excited about this horse and was so sad when I wasn't going to let her ride it. I tried to explain it was a dedication to all the horsey's that died during war.
Love it All.
