Not really hanging out with the queen, but we were in her presence (at least outside her gates...) here's the balcony where the Royal family graces the public with a view. I was thinking today that if I was a member of the Royal family...I'd pop out on this balcony now and then just to see how big of a crowd I could draw. I'm sure the Queen wouldn't like me doing it, but it would be quite entertaining. Just think how many people would sit and wait to be graced by my presence...
Nicole zoomed in really far to get this...
me and Nicole outside the gates. you can see how far away the guard is...
a look at the London Eye, it's amazing how close everything is here...
A look back at the Palace from the Victoria Monument, oh and Nicole booking it up the steps...
A look down the special street leading to Buckingham Palace (I think it's called a mall)
Nicole and Susie (this photo looks much better than the next one...I wish that everyone taking pictures didn't think full body shots are great
See- you can't see us very well, oh well- at least someone was nice enough to take all of our pictures together!(and not steal my camera!)
the locks on the Buckingham palace gates
Ummm, need I say more?
William and Kate wedding stuff is everywhere. I wish that we were here when the Queen is on vacation...they are going to display Kate's wedding dress, tiara, bouquet and the cake, maybe Dahlia needs to pay for my wedding research...
We aren't quite sure what this means, but we saw a top secret concert that we stopped at, then everyone got kicked out by the cops...
Westminster Abbey, where it costs 18 pounds to get in... math problem: 18x1.7= US dollar amount...
Nicole at Westminster Abbey, a little late for the wedding... and no hat!
Who says that Nicole and Caitlin can't find rare things in England... Caitlin spotted this mountain dew that Nicole purchased. one can = 2.5x1.7= american dollars...one expensive drink compared to her beloved 44oz "fountain-dew"
after a wait of 1 1/2 hours, it was well worth it! Really good food! (and free refills!)
Stay tuned for Nicole's day at "Pemberley" from Pride and Prejudice... (Chatsworth)
