From London we visited Windsor Castle - Queen Elizabeth has a Doll House that is unbelievable here! The plates on the dinning table are made of real silver, and the paintings are just miniature paintings from large ones that their family owns, as well as the furniture (just smaller versions of what they really had in their homes). The girls loved the Doll House. Evan loved all the art displays around the castle made from swords, guns and knights armor!
I love the above picture because if you are able to zoom in on the guards face you can tell that he is looking down at Kenneth - so funny!
From Windsor we drove to Avebury - it is similar to stonehenge but older and a lot more spread out. It is this cute little town with thatched roof tops and fields of these circular stones. The sheep graze in all of the fields so you have to be really careful where you walk. The kids loved running around these fields after being stuck in the car driving around!
Daddy with the kids!
From Avebury we went to Stonehenge - It is literally right off the highway! They have put up a fence around it so you can't go right up to it and touch it like Avebury but it makes you feel like your the only one there visiting which is really nice (especially for pictures). I love this little girl - she is such a character!
Our last stop was sort of last minute ... Salisbury Cathedral. There is a second copy of the Magna Carta here, so if you miss the one at the British Library you have a second chance to see it on your way over to Bath. Unfortunately, it was closing when we got there. There was some guy rushing around closing and locking all the doors while we rushed after him trying to see things before he locked us out. It was just another church to the kids - they were just excited about the cool park located next to the parking lot where our car was.
