Because of our "extra" time here in London we were able to check out MORE royal stuff :) We headed to Windsor for the day to look at the castle and check out the town! Lucky for us it was a weekend and the Queen was in residence!!!
That's her standard flying which means that the "queen is in!" If not it would be the Union flag. We toured the state apartments and the castle grounds. All very impressive!!! The queen is back there somewhere!
I wanted to go into St. George's Chapel where all of the recent monarchs are buried like the Queen Mother, George VI, George V, and Henry VIII (not recent... but still!). Unfortunately it is a church and we were there on a Sunday... so no visitors unless they were coming in for services! So I just took a picture outside! Looks pretty nice!
There is so much royal stuff to do in London I just can't get enough! I convinced Brad that we should go to the Royal Mews aka the Carriage Museum!!! Except it's not a museum because these are all working carriages!! Like the one that took Princess Di to her wedding
And more recently... wait for it... wait for it....the carriage that William and Catherine rode in after they got married!! AHHH!!
Unfortunately we weren't able to see the Rolls-Royce Phantom because the Queen was currently using it at Windsor for the Royal Ascot!
I love all this Royal stuff everywhere!! I'm going to miss it! But I think I've got my fill for a little while. Especially after seeing the Coronation Carriage! It's been used for every coronation since (I can't remember)... but a while!!
