[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not necessarily opposed to museums, but I think they'll get bored quickly.  We do the natural history at the Smithsonian, and one kid likes it, the other doesn't really.  Any other suggestions for London?  I really would think of just doing Ireland and/or Scotland, except for the Harry Potter fiends -- I've heard the Harry Potter tour is fun.[/quote]

I am the above PP who went last summer, and I have one kid who loves museums and one who could give or take them.  We were in London for a week and we did the British Museum (my 7 year old was bored), The Tower of London (both liked it because it is a lot of running around as well as historical stuff), and The London Transport Museum (both liked this as well).  But London is so much more than museums!  We did a TON of walking when we were there - went to Regents Park and Hyde Park, took the boat ride to Greenwich and went up to the Prime Meridian, saw the Changing of the Guard, walked by St. James Palace, went to Trafalgar Square, saw Westminster Abbey (didn't go in because it was way too crowded), stopped in lots of pubs to sit and eat and have a beer.  We also took the Tube a ton which my kids loved.  [b]I was also shocked by how much they walked each day - they don't like to walk much at home, but in London with lots to see, they didn't complain.[/b]  It really was a great trip.  [/quote]

I'm the other PP.  Me, too.. and it was hot when we were there in the summer.  But like your's, the kids didn't seem to complain as much.  Here, we walk .5 mi. to the park and my 5 yr old complains she's tired.[/quote]
