I've always wanted to be a princess. In fact, when Kate & William got engaged, I may or may not have googled "bachelor princes." && tried to find myself one. Clearly unsuccessful but one has to dream, right?
Well, today I visited what felt like a REAL castle. Windsor Castle is about half an hour train ride away from London, perfect distance for a day trip but did not allow me to have my customary train ride nap. Boo!
Windsor itself is an adorable city. Not really much to do or see there besides pubs, the castle, & shopping but well worth the trip! Our goal was to see the Castle & we accomplished that!
Here's the first views of the town we saw:
CASTLES.
I really wish America had castles.
I have a thing for taking pictures of ceilings when I'm not supposed to! Here's an AMAZING ceiling in the State Apartments.
THAT is the section where the Queen stays when she visits. This is considered to be her weekend home. I can only imagine how the inside of her apartment is decorated... probably pristine!
We happened to walk upon the changing of the guards. I may have not seen it at Buckingham Palace (oops) but I promise I'll head there in the next 2 weeks!
It's so funny to watch their facial expressions & how seriously they take their jobs.
The Castle was SO worth seeing. I sadly don't have any pictures from inside, as they were forbidden. But feel free to Google!
Happy Weekend!
