Wednesday was our last day. Our flight didn't leave until the afternoon, so we had a good amount of time to do some final things around town. Jenny got to do some shopping at Fortnum & Mason, which is a store that the Queen likes to shop at (supposedly.) I took the kids over to the British Museum to check out the mummies. I'll have to make a note of this place for next time because I could have easily spent more time there. In addition to the mummies we saw the original Rosetta Stone. The stone is famous because it was found by Napolean during his expedition into Egypt, and it provided archaeologists the first clues to deciphering hieroglyphics. It kind of blew me away to see it up close and in person.

This mummy houses the body of Cleopatra inside.
