Mamma Mia

September 1st--After home school and lunch, we headed out today to the Science Museum. It's a free museum and a great place for kids. We first went to the Pattern Pod where the kids got to discover the patterns around them. This was their first steps into the science world. From here, we went up to the 3rd floor where they were able to experience Science with a lot of hands on activities. We spent hours in here and still didn't get to see everything, but everyone had a great time enjoying the world of Science. It was about 4:00 when we all left the museum. At the corner, I said goodbye to Mike and the kids. They took the bus back to the apartment to meet the babysitter while I went to Harrod's to do some alone time shopping. I pretty much spent my whole time in the Christmas World. It was so much fun and really put me in the Christmas mood. I met Mike a little after 5:30 at the Sea Grill Restaurant on the ground floor of the Food Hall. We had a nice seafood dinner before our show. After dinner, we took the bus to Piccadilly Circus where the Prince of Wales Theater is located. Our show for the evening was "Mamma Mia". We were so excited to see it and to have a night out without kids. The show definitely met our expectations. It was about 2 1/2 hours long with a 20 minute intermission. It lasted a little longer due to some technical difficulties with the microphone that only lasted about 10 minutes. The ending was probably the best part of the show though when all the performers came out and sang 3 Abba songs. Everyone in the audience was standing and singing and dancing. It definitely gets my BEST ENDING award!
