Windsor Castle

Monday was Memorial Day in the States and Spring Bank Holiday here in the UK. That means that I didn't have school and Daddy didn't have work. We celebrated by spending six hours on a bus.

It's better than it sounds. We took a tour bus to some sights we'd wanted to see. We took a train to London Victoria first thing in the morning, then walked to the Victoria Coach Station, where we started the bus tour. Our first stop was Windsor Castle.

An interesting thing about Windsor Castle is that the Queen still lives there sometimes. You can walk through the State Apartments when she's not there (which we did). There's a huge dining hall, the Waterloo Chamber, with a big long table that would fit my whole entourage of pretend friends, and then some.

There's also a huge doll house (Queen Mary's Dolls' House) on display at the castle. It was big enough to park a bunch of my big toy cars in its garages.

We only had about two hours to spend at Windsor Castle before we had to get back on the bus. I'll tell you where we went next in my next post.
