First stop Monday morning was the London Eye, a huge ferris wheel that, on a clear day, gives you panoramic views of the city. We lucked out! The skies cleared up 30 minutes before we boarded, and clouded over again about 30 minutes after we disembarked! Clara took lots of photos of the boats below, and the buildings around us.
The view from the Eye
From the Eye we walked back across the Thames, past Big Ben and through St. James Park.
At the other end of the park is Buckingham Palace. We were too late to watch the changing of the guard, but we still had the chance to spend a few minutes watching the guards march back and forth. From there we tubed up to Picadilly Circus for lunch and gift shopping, then to the British Museum.
Clara and I explored Greek and Roman sculptures, American modern art, and Egyptian relics. Above is the famous Rosetta Stone. We also saw several incredible mummies (below)!
We ended the evening recovering at home. Ate dinner with A&K & Midnight.

You've certainly struck lucky with the weather - great photos too.
Well you DID manage Windsor, Stonehenge and Bath in one day but was glad to read you thought Bath deserved more time on it's own.
Enjoy the rest of your trip.
