Once we saw all we could see, we headed to the Thames River. Such a nice evening for a walk along the river. 
Wednesdays in the UK are also known as "sport" days. The hospitals, schools and even different businesses have separate schedules for Wednesdays. Jason was encouraged to take advantage of "sport" day...no work, just outside being active. Since the weather channel was forecasting some great weather, we decided to make a trip to Hampton Court Palace. We even took went crazy and rode on the top deck of the bus...total American thing to do! 
Hampton Court Palace is huge--the palace itself is ridiculously huge, but the gardens are what most people go to look at. The gardens surround all three sides of the palace and are in perfect condition. We are still a little early for the rose gardens and a few of the 'summery' gardens but we both agreed that we'd love to come back before we leave. Words can't even describe and the pictures don't do it justice....
