Sadly, it was our last morning in London. Our bags were packed. Our hearts heavy. It was definitely time to go, though. The boys can only handle traveling away from home for so many days. Apparently 5 days away is the upper limit of what they can survive.
We checked our bags with the concierge, and headed to Starbucks for my last Venti Caramel Macchiato. Then I ran into Tesco, our favorite supermarket where I picked up some healthy snacks for our flight home.
Just as we returned to the hotel, our taxi to take us to the train station had arrived. As we drove through London, we took one last look at our favorite city. So much fun for a family of 5!
To be honest, for our “unlucky” family, the return trip home was quite uneventful. Our taxi got us to the train station on time; our train to Stansted Airport was a few minutes ahead of schedule; we zipped through the check-in line for Ryan Air; and even had time for a nice lunch in the airport. We arrived into Rome ahead of schedule, quickly paid for parking, jumped in our car and were home by 10:30 pm. Perfect timing to get everyone to bed so EVERYONE could go to school the next day!!!
It was a fun family vacation! Thanks for reading along with me!
