Exploring the Tower of London

#toweroflondon lasted about three hours. We looked at armor, read about the boys in the tower, learned about medieval torture, sat on an ancient toilet (because boy), and saw the Queens England crown. Once again, I don’t have any history pegs for these kings other than Richard III and his nephews. I need something to hang this knowledge in to make it stick... This didn’t stick. They were excited to see the six ravens that live there as we had learned about them. And K wanted her picture taken with one ;). Myth says that when all the ravens are gone, the White Tower will be no more. The kids especially C are fascinated by the biggest diamonds in the world... so we had to look at her scepter three times. And this momma rocked the jewels. I had read to go there first so we zipped through the line, watched the coronation video... and later saw the crazy line of people waiting. Score!
