Anya is really taking to this mode of travel. She's navigating like a pro.
Willow is reminding us to mind the gap. Every. Time.
Éowyn is playing with the Queen's tulip to occupy herself.
ПутешественникThe Tube was BY FAR Kristin's least favorite part of Europe. She literally jumped off at a random stop because she was getting so claustrophobic! Rest of our time in England and France we rode bikes, haha!!
