Last weekend, we drove about an hour north to Sandringham, the country home of Queen Elizabeth II. While the entire estate consists of 20,000 acres, Sandringham House is set on 60 beautifully landscaped acres. It is the personal property of the Royal Family, as opposed to the many other palaces and castles that are owned by the state. It has been in the family for 4 generations (since ~1862) and it is where the Royal Family spends Christmas each year. After walking the grounds, I can understand their love for the beautiful home and gardens.
The kids loved trying to use their maps to find the way. Dallin was quite adamant that we were going the wrong way, and pointed to his map to prove it(:
Isn't it just amazing! We walked several miles around the grounds and just couldn't get enough of it. The home, itself, was very pretty, but we weren't allowed to take pictures inside. The kids were mostly interested in the large collections of antique weaponry and armor, while Brandon asked the guides questions about politics and history.
