We decided to take an excursion on Wednesday, so we took a couple of trains over to Windsor Castle. Macey and Mia got to practice their guard skills almost as soon as we stepped off the train!
This turned out to be a pretty rainy day, but we didn't let that stop our fun!
Flat Arthur joined us to learn about this amazing historical castle that is still used today as a royal residence.
We snapped these pictures at various points inside before being told that pictures were not allowed. Thankfully, they let us keep the pictures.
Such a lovely place!
We had lunch at a restaurant called The Duchess of Cambridge; that has to be good, right? Absolutely! I enjoyed some traditional fish and chips, and they really were delicious.
On the way back, we were in the Paddington train station. We took a few minutes to find the Paddington Bear statue. We're reading that book at home right now (having finished Mary Poppins just before we came), so this was a fun little find.
Brian and Parker were able to get tickets to the USA versus South Africa match in the Rugby World Cup, so they went there on Wednesday evening. Jill, Macey and our family decided to stop by the Leicester Square Ticket Booth to see what was available. Lucky for us, The Lion King had 6 tickets available! We all loved seeing this; a West End show is always fun!
When the show was over, we started walking to a tube station and crossed over a bridge. What a lovely city view! It wasn't much after this that we realized we were heading the wrong direction, so we quickly caught a taxi to get us headed in the right direction. Train, tube, bus and now taxi; check on all the major transportation methods in the city!
Brian and Parker had already arrived back at the flat and were asleep when we got home. They told us the next day that the US had lost badly, but it was still a very fun experience. Glad we all had a great evening.
