out from 9am until 11 pm.
We went to Hampton Court Palace today. This was a palace of Henry
VIII. We went on a tour of his state rooms and the kitchens. The
kitchens were facinating. There was a whole wing of the house
dedicated to food preparations. Several kitchens, butchery, roasting
rooms, baking rooms, cold storage rooms and wine cellar. They would
cook for 600 people a day. The king and his court would have to move
to different palaces throughout the year because they would deplete
the local area of their resources.
The kids did an activity where they would go to different locations in
the palace where there have been ghost sightings and read about those
stories. They each got a pack of colored pencils for completing it.
The picture today is of us in the palace hedge maze. I ruined the fun
for Nathan because I happened to be reading in a novel a couple of
days ago where the character mentioned the Hampton Court Maze and the
secret for navigating it. I wanted to see if it was true, and it
turned out that it was, so we were never lost like Raven is trying to
make us out to be. We were able to help a lot of other lost people in
the maze get out.
We got back by 7pm tonight, which is quite early for us, but we need
the night to recoup because we have more busy days planned!
