Castles, Castles, and More Castles (Sept 6-7)

OK so maybe there were only two Castles but you get the idea. We visited 2 fun castles over the weekend. Chris's parents were in town for a week so we made the most of the weekend.

Saturday, we started out they day achieving my biggest mission in London, finding London Bridge. Most people who visit London believe that Tower Bridge is London Bridge but actually London Bridge is a very ordinary bridge. Below Tower Bridge is on the top and London Bridge is on the bottom. Pretty ordinary don't ya think?



Next it was on to those castles I was speaking of. First stop was the Tower of London where the crown jewels are kept. Tower of London is right out our front door. Yes, it took five weeks living here to finally go. The best part about the Tower of London is the crown jewels but unfortunately no cameras allowed in the Crown Jewel room.



Sunday we took a day trip to the east side of England. First stop was Canterbury. Canterbury is a nice little English town. We stopped and saw a beautiful church and took lots of fabulous pictures.

The real fun started on our second stop of the trip, Leeds Castle. Leeds Castle is definitely the most amazing Castle I have seen this far. The Castle is still a working castle with rooms that people actually stay in. The grounds around the castle are beautiful and the castle itself is beautiful. After a fun tour of the castle it was on to jousting. Yes, I said jousting. So entertaining!!

The last stop on the way out of the castle was me riding a Segway Personal Transporter. I love those things!! and I finally got my chance at the wheel. So fun!!
