Milestones

General 

Elliott was good today in particular when we had to wait for the AA and it could have been dangerous if he misbehaved.

Activities

In the morning we went to Basingstoke where we looked around the shops and bought some cheap presents for our trip to the Olympic Park tomorrow where we're going to see Lucas Dawson and Alice and Fi Reed - in the toy shop they had soft toy London Olympics mascots very reduced which we thought would be nice (well I thought and he agreed). We then had lunch at Old MacDonalds.    

After lunch we went to Milestones museum in Basingstoke. This is a big hanger where inside they've built lots of buildings from Victorian and other eras. There are also lots of old vehicles and machines there. We had a good time looking around and we even bought some old fashioned sweets from an old fashioned sweet shop. There were also lots of old fashioned penny arcade machines that were a lot of fun. Unfortunately on the way home we got a puncture on the A33 so we had to get the AA to come and change the tyre so I could make sure he was safe. He behaved really well while we were waiting and understood the danger involved and was very patient.
