hampton court palace

i guess i should explain a little! Hampton court palace is actually two palaces, the Tudor home of Henry VIII and the baroque palace of William III and Mary II. this is the tudor kitchen... the meat is just for show. there is a limited ability to photograph inside, the outside is fair game





the fountain court

on the way to the knot garden







the pond gardens



we only saw half of the gardens, left the maze and wilderness gardens for the rest of my family. we finally had someone take a picture of us both, together, imagine that?

there were zillions of pretty pictures today with the bright sunlight and blue skies. i will put more on flickr, this post is just too long. we head out tomorrow evening, tomorrow is a travel day. i am packing my camera away and soaking in the last day of london. we have a tradition of walking hyde park on our last morning, so i will be reflecting on this lovely trip my mom forced me to go on (ha ha!) i may post one more london mish mash, or i might not. missing my little family like crazy, hugs and kisses to chris, emily and lizzie, see you soon!
