SouthBank - Be a part of it!

If you've been reading this blog for any length of time
then you know that South Bank is one of our favorite ways to spend a day.
You can read about it here and here.  A few weeks ago, as the weather is turning nice,
we decided to head over that way and make a day of it.

There's an area of the Queen's Walk between the London Eye and Royal Festival Hall
that is full of buskers and street artists.  We see something new every time we go.

The bubble guy was surrounded by little ones chasing the bubbles and squealing with delight.

A split second after I took this picture this massive bubble flew right into my face and burst
leaving soapsuds all over me and my camera.  Then it was my turn to squeal and laugh.
Never too old to enjoy bubbles!

There's always a festival or special event going on along the banks.
This weekend there was a Spanish food and wine festival happening that brought out the crowds.

The Southbank Book Market under Waterloo Bridge is another favorite stop.
I noticed this time that there is a vendor selling maps from all over the world.
I might have to make a purchase there soon.  I love old maps.

And then there are the views.
When we were done we hopped on a Thames Clipper
and rode down the Thames towards home.

What's your favorite day out in London?

P.S.  Guess who's a finalist in the BrisMums Brilliance in Blogging Awards?!?
I'm a finalist in the Travel Category again this year.
I'm so proud and so appreciative of everyone who voted for me.
Thanks so much!  It means the world to me.
