Two Palaces in One Day

We took advantage of the warm weather to visit Buckingham and Kensington Palaces.  I have to admit I was looking forward to seeing Buckingham, but my expectations were kind of low.  I've seen pictures of the palace and it looked... kind of old and stuffy.  It totally blew me out of the water.  It was so clean and beautiful.  We weren't allowed to take any pictures but if you ever are in London during the summer I highly recommend a visit.

I know it's kind of lame, but as I was walking around, instead of thinking "this is so cool, all these monarchs through the years have walked these halls," or "here's an amazing piece of historical significance" all I could think of was "Wills and Kate took their wedding portraits right here!"  I know, I know...





 Look at Tony's coffee- isn't that hysterical?


Outside Kensington- we didn't pay for the tour here, just looked around the gardens.
