Great Place to Visit -- Chartwell

Chartwell was Churchill's home very near Seven Oaks where we are staying. It is as Churchill left it and a beautiful estate. The best part is that the massive home is filled with momentos and pictures of his life. A great way to spend half a day.

London

Yesterday we had a great time in London. We saw the play "the railway children" which was well done and housed in the Waterloo train station. Then we went over and rode the London Eye, which is a giant slow moving ferris wheel that takes about 20 min to go around and gives you great views of the city....

The kids favorite part of travel

Jet lag

Well we all had a great flight over but kami and I did not sleep much on 10 hr flight. The kids did sleep and so are up now on jet lag. We had a great time in Kent today at the Thomas residence. We played soccer in the yard, had kirsty's terrific homemade lasagna (what an organized family btw) and marched into the town of Seven Oaks. Most of all we toured their new home which Tudor in the front and manhattan beach in the back. They just completed it and it is tops.
