Day Five: National Portrait Museum

Today is our last day in London and we took the Tube to the National Portrait Gallery, which happens to also be at Trafalgar Square.  Genny was really excited to see some of the artwork her teachers have talked about in her art and history classes.

Our second stop for the day was the Imperial War Museum.  It displayed artifacts from various military conflicts such as both World Wars and the Falkland Islands.

Later we took at trip past Picadilly Square to the original Hard Rock Cafe, but ended up eating elsewhere after we were quoted a 2.5 hour wait.  I did get the chance to pick up a few souvenirs, however.
