Before Scott left for trial, I arranged a little stay-cation for the kids and me. The requirements were easy. First, it had to be close. Second, it had to have an indoor pool for easy entertainment. Third, it had to have breathing room for me once the kids were asleep. Mark one up for the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge. It had it all. Bonus was that it was across the street from Big Ben, Parliament and Westminster Abbey.
As it turns out, Scott ended up coming home due to a continuance, so the whole family went. We swam, we ate, we drank, and we generally felt pampered for about 24 hours. The room service sushi of course helped the cause.
Of course the kids thought the actual travel to and from on the underground was as much fun as the stay-cation.
The only way it could have been better was if the break had been longer… We hope to do another one soon. Perhaps we’ll venture outside of London for the next one. I always did think it would be great to stay in a castle!
