My 30 year old daughter - who lives with us - just got back from two weeks London/Paris. I asked her how she liked The Tower of London, and she said "what's that?" I proceeded to tell her a little history and how our family once lost our sister there, and when we finally found her, she was in the same cell (with the Beef Eaters) where they kept Oliver Cromwell. She said - "who's that?"

Maybe it was a temporary exhibit or something.
I thought the crown jewels and the tower of london were pretty cool. Also, Winston's war room. On one trip to London it was during the Queen's Jubilee and Buckingham palace was open for tours (2015, I believe).

I may be small, but I'm slow.
A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."

We're headed out in a little over two months. So far, I have a few shows booked (my wife and I will have to trade nights, since we have kids who are too young), but for seven of us, we have airfare and AirBnb for $5200, which leaves plenty of money for having some fun.Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

My wife wants to go to London. When are the best times of year to go? Any tips for getting the best airfare rates?"I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

I like going in May.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
