Regents Park & STOMP

Yesterday we took the train into Central London and took the tube to Regents Station. From there we went to look around a small portion of Regents Park. The flowers were beautiful and it wasn't very crowded. We met up with a couple that Randy knows from the US. He is from another financial company but Randy works with him and has went on a trip with him. They moved their family from NY to London when there kids were around the same ages as ours. Once their boys graduated from school here they moved back to the US and lived in CO for a time, back to NY and now in London for a couple years again. They are very nice people and the wife said that she would love to show me around and answer questions that I have. She said she remembers this time in her life and wished she had someone to lean on who had gone through the same. Once the kids are in school I will go into Central London and take her up on her offer. After having lunch with them they walked us down Regents Street. They close off the entire street for the month of August and part of it was closed yesterday, all I can say is WOW! Any of my girlfriends that want to come on over I have the place to shop, eat and hang out! Also on Regents Street is a place called Hamleys Toy Store, Britain's oldest and the largest toy shop in the world. It is 7 floors with more than 50,000 toys. We were only in there for 40 mins and saw 1 and 1/2 floors. The kids can't wait to go back, their mom either. :) We then took the kids to the theatre to see STOMP. They have never been to a professional theatre. The boys greatly enjoyed it and Abby did until towards the end when it got really loud. By the time we got back home we were all wiped from all the walking and just a long day out.
