Today we went to the art gallery to see paintings of some old relatives of ours. They are Dad's relatives. They were famous for being artists and musicians. One of them sailed to Australia with Captain Cook.

Then we went to Horseguards to see the changing of the guards but it wasn't on until the afternoon because the guards were practicing for a parade.
Then we went to meet Daddy who was still at the gallery and we went to the Houses of Parliament. We had to go through security scanners and they took our photo to put on a pass. It was a bit scary.
We saw where people make up the rules for England. The building was big and very old. The first room we went into was the House of Commons. It was green. The second one was the house of Lords and it was red. The walls and ceiling were very fancy.
After parliament we were feeling hungry so we went to the river to eat our lunch. We could see the London Eye. It is very big and there was one red pod. We fed some peanuts to the pigeons.
After that we went to see Westminster Abbey. The Royal family get married there. The Queen was crowned there too.
Then we went to the park to feed the squirrels. They took the peanuts out of our hands. Their tails look really fluffy but they are actually not.
