Their eyes would widen, a slightly curious shake of a head would occur, and then the following two questions would inevitably come rushing out, one right behind the other. “Why?” would be asked first, with “What can anyone do in London in only three days?” shortly behind.
The answer to the first question is simple enough.
“Why such a short trip?”
Well, first, because we are parents. That should be enough said, but let’s add in the availability of childcare, not to mention that we chose to travel in April, a month fraught with end-of-the-year school activities. Also, we love to travel with our children and consider these quick trips more scouting in nature. If we love a place and deem it safe enough, we return home and carve out the makings of a more extensive family trip in the future.
As for the second question, “What can one possibly do in London in four days?”
The simple answer is “quite a bit” as long as you are organized and prioritize your list of activities.
