A very rainy London day

We decided to spend a day in London since Hazel hasn't been back since we first moved here.  We unfortunately had a few set backs.

Our usual 40 minute drive to Epping Train Station turned into a three hour traffic jam.  

I finally had a proper camera and not the phone camera, and so I anticipated taking many artistic photos.  I instead spent 95 percent of the time protecting my camera from the torrential downpour. 

The artist at Greenwich Market, who is always there on Saturdays didn't turn up.  Johnny was needing a particular piece for work, and thus was our main motivation for our outing.

Hazel was a complete nightmare; throwing herself on the ground and screaming nonstop.  Her favorite phrase/action of the day was pushing me and saying, "No mommy!" 

On the upside, we went to London.  We got to walk in the rain, in London.  We ate at the delicious Gourmet Burger, where Hazel couldn't believe french fries were on her plate.  

And here's my rainy/train view of Olympic park.  

I think we had fun, despite our few holdups.  Just wish we could've spent a little more time in the city, instead of the car, and with less toddler trouble.
