Great day out today - still on tomorrow

[The Nappy Lady]

Hi all,

My other half was working today, so I took a gamble and jumped on a bus into town with my 2 girls. We ended up at Trafalgar Square, where West End Live 2011 is on (today and tomorrow). Loads of acts from all the big shows playing live on stage, with massive screens to make sure you can see even if you're right at the back. Tents along the back with loads of stuff - Science Museum tent had various 'experiments' for the children to join in with, other London attractions also have stands and have stuff like face painting, competitions to win free entry to their museum/whatever, balloons, crown making, model making, masks and stuff to try on, and people dressed as Jack Sparrow (our hero), Ghostbusters etc. to have photos taken with.

It's all free, and we had a fantastic day despite the rain. Somehow managed to be inside a tent every time it came down, and outside when the sun shone - phew!
