A Day Among Giants: Sequoia National Park
The Cranky Campers pay a visit to the largest trees on earth: the giant sequoias in Sequoia National Park.
The Tower of London
This final post in our Great British Adventure series focuses on the Tower of London. Since it was built in the 1100s, the Tower has served many purposes: armoury, treasury, Royal Mint, housing for the Crown Jewels, and very famously a prison. This was an interesting and educational experience for the family and definitely a must-do on any London itinerary. Cheers!

To help keep costs down, we utilized the London Pass with the Oyster travelcard to save on activities and transportation. We used it for admission into the Churchill War Rooms, Westminster Abbey, and more. Another advantage was that it included activities not originally on our itinerary, like the Shard, from which there are stunning views of the city at night.
