Friday April 26, 2013:
Of course eating was high on Nick's agenda for this trip. His number one request was a traditional English breakfast. We went to a local pub and everyone including the waitress was taken back when he ordered two meals for himself. I must admit it was pretty good. We do sausage all wrong in America. It was delicious and cheap!
On the agenda for today was a visit to Windsor Castle. This is where the Queen spends most of her time and I can see why. It is beautiful! Seriously, it is like living in a museum. They are serious about not taking pictures inside, they literally threatened this guy and took his camera who succeeded at taking a picture. So even though there are zero pictures of the inside, the outside was just as neat.
We had a few drizzles throughout the day, but I think it helped to keep the crowds down so we were okay with it.
Man love at it's finest. Again, Nathan, had never been here!!
St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. I'm pretty sure that everyone who is royalty has been buried here. We asked the guide if Queen Elizabeth II would be buried here when she died, and the response was, "well, her parents are here." So interpret that how you would like :)
They really don't move!

And what would a trip to England be without a traditional English Pasty. It is almost like a thick beef stew wrapped in pie crust. Well, I will tell you I took one bite and was done! Not for me. Nick got the pleasure of eating two.
Another great day exploring.
