American Mom in London: London Bucket List

When we moved to London, I started a list of all the things I wanted to make sure we did in the two years we lived here. I figured if I didn't have it down on paper, it would be easy to not make the most of our time here. The list below shows we had a busy two years of exploring London and nearby areas. Here is my "London Bucket List" and some of my favorite London photos.
