The War Museum, China Town, and Urban Hiking

Today we went to the War Museum. It was free and well worth it. It probably should have cost at least £10. They had so much stuff, we stayed three hours and left because we were hungry. They had food too, but we already decided to go to Chinatown for lunch. We found a Dim Sum place and ate there. We ordered a lot of food, but we also ate it all fairly quickly. Well... I didn't eat as quick as everyone else, but I'm used to that. After lunch, we walked around a bit and went back to the hotel. We were all tired. Most of us took a nap. My dad smoked. Then I was woken up for dinner. We went looking for food on Baker Street, (Sherlock Holmes' Street) but my parent's couldn't agree on a place so we went back to the hotel and ate in a nearby steakhouse.

Now I love my family, but there is a reason (maybe more than one) that I moved out. I needed some alone time. I decided to take a walk... two hour walk and when it got dark, I just took the underground back home. I stayed in the train station for a while so I could have some quiet time with God. (Yes, a train station is quieter than being in a hotel room with my family.) Then back to the hotel room for a little family chaos before heading to bed... I mean heading to the computer to upload my pictures for the day and write this. Speaking of pictures, here's the Museum:

I want to write more

I'm lazy. I want to write more. I would like to update this blog daily, so if you want to help me out, here's what you can do. If you read this blog, and notice that it hasn't been updated yesterday (chances are that I didn't get to it today yet), and you see me, pinch me. That should be a good reminder to update. Thanks.
