Overwhelmed

Fact: There are about a million things to do in London. And pretty much all of them are considered "must see" attractions. And considering this will probably be the only time Darrell and I are in London... How does one even start planning out a list of "things to do"?

Because who would want to miss the chance to ride on the London Eye?

And of course we'll have to journey past the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben.

The Tower of London, with the Crown Jewels on display, is certainly an attractive stop,

As is the ever-famous Changing of the Guard outside Buckingham Palace (not to mention the other palaces worth visiting like Kensington and Hampton Court).

The city is rife with museums; how is it possible to choose just one to visit?

The National History Museum

The Victoria and Albert Museum 

Tate Modern

And what's a visit to London without spending some time walking through Trafalgar Square?

And that's not even the half of it!!! There's still Westminster Abbey to visit, plus St. Paul's cathedral, and the WWII buff in me won't be satisfied unless we visit the Churchill War Rooms. Not to mention that I'd love to go see a theater production (maybe at Shakespeare's Globe Theater!), in addition to the fact that I could probably do a whole additional post about all the pubs to visit (fish and chips anyone?!?)

I'm beginning to feel like we should have planned a longer trip. A much, much longer trip.
