Paul took the older kids to see diving today at the Aquatics Center in Olympic Park. I am waiting to hear all about it, as they are on the way home. I'll post pics later.
But conveniently located at Olympic Park is the hugest mall ever! Totally bigger than Woodfield or any of the big malls in IL. And funny thing is that it is a Westfield Mall! But it is super easy to get to on the Overground (stop 1/2 mile of course at Hampstead Heath). And we simply take it to the end of the line to Stratford. The mall was very crowded with all the Olympic traffic. Since T and I didn't have event tickets, we couldn't actually get into Olympic park. But the security was crazy... police officers everywhere in the mall, many carrying *serious* machine guns.
So Tom and I window shopped at tons of fun stores, got Pinkberry yogurt, coffee, a Krispy Kreme... all in all it was a very fun outing. We will be sure to go back in Sept. when the Olympic crowds have dwindled.
