Another Museum, A Final Food Court Visit, and MJ

It's time to pack up and head home, but we had one last day to explore and enjoy London. We started at Gail's, our almost-daily routine where we get flat whites or hot chocolate and a scone. It's a fun place to people watch and see all the kids on their way to school who stop at Gail's with their parents. And we watch the food delivery guys line up, pick up their orders and zoom off on the motorcycles with their bags of pastries. On this same corner is Parson's Nose, a wonderful butcher shop where we bought several dinners that we fixed at home. So convenient for us.

Our first stop of the day was the Imperial War Museum. We enjoyed it several years ago, and I'd read they had a few new exhibits. We spent time there looking at their WW2 section, and I think after all of the memorials, museums and tours we've taken on this trip, I'm ready to move past WW2 for a while. But it's a wonderful museum and beautifully organized.

Saw this bench on the way to lunch and had to stop for a photo op..... (fyi - not a real dog but sure fooled me!)

Greg had seen a place at Spitafield's Market that sold wonderful looking steak sandwiches so he'd been thinking about it ever since. We gave it a try and it was really very good.

We had matinee tickets to see MJ The Musical. A great way to end a very fun time here! We thoroughly enjoyed the show - the music and the dancing was spectacular. However, we weren't expecting (and we should have been prepared for) the dark side of MJ's life - his father's abuse, the drugs, the money problems. We'd thought it would be a great show for the grandkids but there's no way we'd take them to this. 

This was the sign that was posted on the door of the lady's room stalls. I guess they didn't want me to belt out the songs or do my dancing routines in the aisles during the show??

A quick dinner at Megan's across the street and we're back to packing and getting ready to leave in the morning.

Home tomorrow night!!
