I had an awesome Saturday with my Girl Scout troop! My co-leader and I took 6 girls (and each had an adult) to London! We went to the PAX Lodge - it's one of only 4 Girl Scout World centers (the other 3 are in: India, Mexico and Switzerland). We also worked on a badge put out by the London Girl Guide office called a "transportation" badge. The requirement was to ride 3 London modes of transportation.
We left the house at 8:30am arriving in Ely at the train station. We took it to King's cross in London, hopped the tube, at lunch by Parliament Hill, walked back to the station, took a bus to PAX lodge area, (had a tour, shopped the gift shop, ate scones and drank tea, & had a pinning ceremony), took a cab back to King's Cross station, took one train to Cambridge/another back to Ely, and drove home! WHEW! We arrived home about 7:00pm. What a wonderful time!
I think the highlight of my trip was getting pinned at the ceremony. It's a special pin that you can ONLY get if you visit PAX lodge. Olivia originally didn't want to go, but I think she had a good time. She was exhausted, and a little grumpy. But, par for the course. Maybe someday she'll look back and realize what a wonderful opportunity she had living in England, living in Turkey, and experiencing things some only dream of. Someday...

Day 18: I'm thankful that I grew up knowing my grandparents Bill & Violet Kingsbury and Stella Murphy. I think of them often and miss them so much!
