The British Museum revisited
On our summer 2025 trip to London, we once again visited the British Museum. Spanning nearly the breadth of human history, the museum houses over 2 million artifacts- including some that involve controversy. This post contains updated photos, along with a brief synopsis of the controversy associated with the Parthenon sculptures.
A Day in Greenwich
On our summer trip to Europe, we made Greenwich our home base for London adventures. This borough in southeast London is of great importance to British maritime history, with the Greenwich meridian setting the standard for navigation and time zones across the globe.
Paris versus London: Shopping Edition
Happy birthday to me! In honor of this occasion, I present a comparison of some of our shopping trips in Paris and London. Featured prominently here are the JellyCat worldwide exclusives, along with a few shopping tips.
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!
