We had our first (of many I hope) visitors since moving here come. We were so excited to have Grandma and Grandpa Merx come. They were able to come for 2 1/2 weeks and we loved every minute of it. I warned them though that the first week was going to be pretty busy, and they handled it like pro's! We eagerly awaited their arrival at Heathrow Airport and as soon as they got in we went directly to see Windsor Castle (about 20 minutes from the airport).
Driving around the city was really neat. The castle is right in the middle and up on a hill. We parked a bit away from it and had the chance to view it from a distance as we walked to it.
My kids love running through a maze. This one was fun on our walk to the castle.
And then we were there.
I hadn't really done any research on the castle, but apparently it's the most popular tourist spot in England. Which means there was a bit of a line to get in. But not too bad. That just had never happened to us when visiting anywhere before.
I loved that they have headsets to listen to that tells you interesting things about the castle. Prince William even started it off. They had kid ones too, which Owen really liked listening to.
It was seriously HUGE!!
Hehehehe.
"Make way for the Queen's Gaurds!" Complete with the original bear skin hats.
G & G did so well even after they had flown for 14 hours and had very little sleep! We did get to our Bed & Breakfast around 6:00. It was a charming little place in the middle of nowhere. Actually about 10 minutes from Stonehenge, which is in the middle of nowhere.
Everyone was still all smiles!!
We had a yummy dinner at this pub and called it an early night. We had lots more to see the next day!!
