“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."-Mark Twain

Clearly we are 5 years old.

Went on a lovely adventure to Warwick Castle today. It was incredibly fun and allowed us to channel our inner children.




The castle itself is actually pretty impressive. It was started in 1066 and up until around 50 years ago was still used as a residence. It has a very long and interesting history that I read about in the guide book I bought for my mom but alas most of the facts have left me. It had displays/ attractions such as "the king maker' and "the royal wedding party' basically it was an entertaining way to see the inside of the castle with out just walking through and going 'ooh' 'aww' which we did anyway. We did try to pull the sword out of the stone, to which neither of us were successful but I did stop Morgan from killing and innocent child. We then Climbed to the top of the Castle and walked along the walls. Amazing view. the spiral stairs did get to Morgan but she made it out alive- after we ran away from some strange people in the tower. To be quite honest, the castle is now a tourist attraction for younger kids. they have all sorts of things going on that intrigue a younger audience. Morgan and I were amused by some things but alas not enough to spends buckets amount of time there. So instead we went diamond shopping and found morgan's perfect wedding dress. . . she disagrees but I love it!!!
