London Day 3: National History Museum and Hyde Park

Trying to avoid doing too much, the plan for the day was to check out the National History Museum and meet up with Irish John for dinner. It seemed do-able enough.  I had not planned on there being so many people at the museum midweek (I was officially overwhelmed and done with the crowds) nor did I anticipate Oskar’s need to read every single plaque and experience every single exhibit the museum had to offer. We thankfully got a break from the crowds in the Space Exhibit that cost extra and we headed off the hunger meltdown before it hit nuclear levels with another late lunch at the museum cafe. 

We finally got out of the museum around 3 and were happy to sit in Hyde park with an ice cream for a moment of calm and normalcy.  The highlight for the kids was playing  in the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain before heading back towards our hotel for dinner with John.
