Cold!

Yesterday, Ally really wanted to go see the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace so D'Layna and I agreed to go with her.  But Ally decided that there was time for her to go to the Dr. Who museum first.  She didn't plan it out and never showed. 

D'Layna and I weren't too keen on going since we wanted to do other things more than that and were kind of ticked off at Ally when she never showed.  So D'Layna and I spent a half hour outside in the cold and wet.  I wore two hoodies yesterday and still got chilly and by the time that it was over, my hands burned for the next hour from the cold. 

But in all honesty, it was really interesting to see how much of a show they made of it thought we couldn't see it all because of the crowds.

The first group of the guards all held large weapons while the second group was the band.

I can't imagine though being in the Buckingham Palace band.  "What do you do for a living?"  "I'm a Buckingham Palace Guard."  "Oh, really?  So you guard the Queen?"  "No, I just come out playing the trombone once a day while they change the guard."  "....."  Seriously, they probably do more than that but it still makes me laugh!

We didn't stay the whole time because we were getting bored.  But after that, D'Layna and I went to see the Sherlock Holmes Museum!  So excited.  There was a long line and we weren't sure if we had to pay to go in so we didn't but it was awesome to be there!  Though you can't see it in this picture, there was a constable in the doorway to control when people went in.  I'm not sure if he was supposed to represent Lestrange or something but that was what I was thinking of!

 They even had a restaurant next door to commemorate Mrs. Hudson! 

  

Still worn out from our two days of rushing around like our heads were cut off, D'Layna and I were done after that.  We were freezing cold and we had done what we wanted to do and we still had Saturday and Sunday to do more.
