My Birthday

Posted on 5:59 AM by Unknown
Erinbday 2My birthday fell on a Saturday this year, so we hopped on the train into the city for the day.  The Tate's Museum was having a free family event, Tiny Tates, so we went there first.    
Erinbday 4Erinbday 6There were various activities set up around the museum, encouraging the kids to use their senses...or something.  I don't know, do the activities need to have a purpose?  Regardless, it was free and indoors on a cold day.  The kids loved it and it made me happy.
Erinbday 7Erinbday 9Jayce really liked the different stations, and Hannah just liked being able to run around in a room full of people.  (It seems like I'm saying that a lot these days, it was also her main activity for Halloween.)

Erinbday 20Eventually, we had a winner.  We wandered over towards Picadilly Circus and past Benihana, and that was it.  It was perfect.  Warm, not crowded, a bit entertaining, nicer than somewhere we would normally go for lunch, and food that all four of us would eat.

Erinbday 25Erinbday 26We did a little shopping, grabbed some Krispie Kremes for the train ride home, and even Starbucks was in on my birthday festivities, choosing that day to start serving their seasonal drinks.  It was a yummy ride home.
