Before the show, we went to Windsor for the day. Windsor is adorable, the whole town is really cute and the massive castle is really cool. You can't go into much of it but the grounds are really pretty and just seeing the outside is cool. Of course it was raining today so we got wet walking around but it was still fun. We toured the state apartments, saw a table that seats 54 in the Waterloo room and a bunch of other very ornate and well decorated rooms. We also saw the china collection, most of it from the 1700's, and a lot of weapons. All the rooms that weren't specifically for the King/ Queen were full of guns, swords, and knives all arranged in patterns on the walls. The blue and white room of the Queens and the red and gold hall were my favorite rooms. Once again, I can't imagine living in a place like that. We tried to picture getting up in the mornings and walking around in pajamas eating at the giant table and watching tv and it was hard. Everything there is so over the top it's hard to believe people really live there.
