On Sunday we went to Visit Windsor Castle. Which is the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world. It has been the family home of British kings and queens for almost 1,000 years. It is an official residence of Her Majesty the Queen. Her flag flies from the Round Tower when she is in residence. Which we we got to see since she was there. Although, Abby thought we would get to see her then. We took a self guided tour around where we got a head set and listened to a guide and the history. We could not take any pictures in the State Apartments or Queen Mary's doll house. It is the largest, most beautiful and most famous dolls house in the world. Built for Queen Mary by the leading British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens between 1921 and 1924. It has real running water and the books are real paper, everything was real and really neat to see.
