Sherlock Holmes' books were a favorite "read" in our home by Bob and Matt. Bob got to visit the museum that was set up with items from all the books and mysteries. It was definitely a fun time for Bob. (Bette Sue sat in the gift shop and watched the people to stay out of the rain.)
A good friend (Greg) suggested we buy a book called, "Through The British Museum with the Bible" and see the remarkable exhibits that show items relating to the Bible. This stone talks about Noah and the flood. There were items from Esther's time, the Babylonians, Jericho and much, much more! (Bob was super thrilled to be in this museum. Bette Sue tagged along and learned from him!)
It was exciting to visit Westminster Abbey and find the burial place for William Wilberforce from the "Amazing Grace" movie. This is also referred to "the house of kings" since many kings and queens are buried here. They say it is a "live church" since church services are held in the building. There were so many famous people buried there, including Darwin! It was a very impressive building. (no pictures allowed inside so we bought a book)
