RAF MUSEUM LONDON - DAY OUT | twoplustwocrew

We had a great day out at the RAF museum in Hendon London, this place is off the usual London museum route but well worth the effort. It's massive! and free. We were there from 10-4 and there was still more to see. It's not just RAF fighters, there are a few simulator rides (you do have to pay for these) and some planes you can get in and walk through. We were worried that there would be enough to keep Tabitha our 9 year old interested but she was fine there were enough interactive activities to keep her involved. We all found the old movies interesting and informative, it felt like we were on a day out but doing a little sneaky homework at the same time.  Oscar 12 is pretty keen on anything that flies, if it has machine guns even better! So he was in his element having flown lots of theses planes on his flight simulator. The cafe in the main hangar is great you get to eat lunch surrounded by some great old planes, you can relax over a latte while the kids explore close by. Plenty of area outside to have a picnic if you are saving pennies!. Car parking onsite was £4.00 for 6 hrs but there were some parks on the street when we first arrived. We visited on a Sunday and wSam thought the gift shop was really good quality gifts and not too expensive, loved the kids romper suits 100% thick cotton with a lovely designer plane print for £12.99 (sorry forgot to take a pic!) If you are looking for a great day out in the London area this place is definitely worth a look.

FANTASTIC BURGERS & ICE CREAM ! CANNES vlog 6| twoplustwocrew family vloggers

More summer holiday fun in Cannes. Kids had the choice of where to have lunch one day .... surprisingly (not) they choose burgers and ice cream! So we had our first steak n shake. It's an American burger chain in France. The intricacies of French cuisine did't seem to interest the little sprouts.  To be fair the Burgers were actually really good and the oreo milkshake was pretty much a meal in itself, everyone struggled to suck it up through the straws . There was a big glass window so you can get your taste buds going as you watch your burger being prepped and at the same time get in the way of the waiting staff! Seats were mostly taken so we wondered across the street to the fountain and people watched as we had our lunch. As we all know there is always room for ice cream so we headed over to an ice cream & sorbet shop we had spotted on the walk down. This place is amazing (Amorino) you pick the ice cream or sorbets you want and they turn it in to a piece of floral ice cream art! Wasn't cheap but actually tasted of what it was supposed to, lemon and mango were magic on a hot day.  Watch our vlog below and if your in Cannes with the kids the steak n shake Amorino combo highly recommended to keep the juniors happy. Still more of our French holiday vlogs coming so subscribe and get them as we upload them.

FIREWORKS FESTIVAL DAY CANNES | twoplustwocrew

Next of our French summer holiday vlogs.... Was 34 degrees in Cannes so we grabbed the swimming gear and headed to the beach. Pretty busy, but water was lovely, refreshing but not cold! Walked back along the main beachfront road past the hotels and casinos, great for supercar spotting, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Pagani all just parked up on the street! Some had very questionable paint jobs.. chrome blue lambo, gold and blue rolls anyone? awesome to see and touch better than a car show. While we were swimming we noticed crew setting up the barges for the evenings fireworks show so we popped back later that evening. It was packed and humming along the front people everywhere, Tabitha got grabbed to do some street dancing by a (very good) busker...she wasn't keen but hats off she did it! Managed to find a spot on the beach. 3 of us ended up standing on a concrete beach shower area to get a better view, fine until some nut decided to wash his hair! Fireworks were amazing, it is a competition held every year LE FESTIVAL D'ART PYROTECHNIQUE CANNES different countries compete and the public votes. It was pyro-tech the english entry, amazing 20-30 mins of fireworks set to music playing off the barges in the bay. Beautiful backdrop of twinkling lights provided curtesy of the super yachts anchored up in the bay.... bling bling!
