Comment by Elizabeth Cline on December 21, 2011 at 7:06am

Jack is getting excited about headed to London with you all.  I am not certain he feels like it is really going to happen yet!  Wish I could jump in his bag and just experience the love you all will be spreading!

Kelsey is so excited about going on this trip! Do we have any idea of what we need to provide for the kids for this trip and what is being supplied for them?

Five things that I would like to do are, row a boat at Serpentine lake, climb the monument, Discover Wilton’s Music Hall, Whitechapel, see Tower Bridge rise up, and play table tennis at the Book Club, Shoreditch. Along with so many more.

Five things that I learned would be, 7PM is the best time to watch table tennis at the book club. In the summer many of London's lakes are open to the public for anything they wish. The 1666 great fire of London is where the monument stands and the public can go to the top. There are times scheduled for the London bridge to go up and come down so people can see it. Wilton's music hall is the oldest music hall in the world.
