Today we took the bus, tube, and train to Bletchley Park also know as Station X. Bletchley Park is an estate located in the town of Bletchley, England, which currently houses the National Codes Centre and the National Museum of Computing. During the Second World War, Bletchley Park was the site of the United Kingdom's main decryption establishment. Where ciphers and codes of several countries were decrypted, most importantly the ciphers generated by the German Enigma and Lorenz machines.
I was not particularly interested in Bletchley Park in all honesty I was EXTREMELY BORED! We were there all day so that did not help either...the boys got really into it because it was in their major area. Needless to say Kayla and I were less than impressed (well we enjoyed parts of the history but we did not understand the computer crap) I mean we tried for like 5 hours to seem like we were interested. For the last hour though we reached a new territory of boredom called slappy happyness land...we talked to the mannequins, came up with a pigeon song to baby got back, "drove a boat," and laughed so hard we almost cried. Needless to say we were both so extremely excited to leave...then we had the 30 minutes to wait on the train, 1 hour long train trip, 45 min tube ride, and 30 minutes of walking before we finally made it back to the hostel! Glad today is done! Not my favorite day by far but I understand this is a Computer Science Class...so I had to learn a little about computers.
Some kid probably watched you two when you were slap happy and said, "Mom, are all americans that weird?" haha, glad you could make it through

Actually the entire time we were there we only saw a baby...and it was asleep! So I hope we did not taint the reputation of americans further..a few older couples either gave us looks or laughed at us:)
