Windsor Castle
Walking up to the castle from the town of Windsor. The queen is in the castle today so some areas will be restricted from visiting.
This is looking down on the town from the walkway up.
Here comes the changing of the guards at the castle.
It's not the Queen but who?
After touring the castle and looking around town a little we stopped for a coffee. After our coffee we were back in the car and off to Brighton.
We have been blessed with such beautiful weather. During the 6 weeks we were gone we only had 2 days of all day rain. Look at those blue skies--who says it rains all the time in England???
Let that girl of mine anywhere near the water and she just has to go mucking around. I believe Jim now has some more rocks for his house. I admit I picked up some too, they were very colorful. They are now sitting on top my desk and the site of them brings back such wonderful memories.
Love this saying
Aren't theses houses neat?
Once again these beautiful rounded buildings.
After Brighton we headed back to Sulihull. Driving through the gorgeous countryside you see above. Once home we had Wednesday and Thursday to say our good byes to Genette and family, Georgina and family, Val, and Mum and Jack.
Picture from the plan as we left Dublin.

All I can say is that staying with Jim and Jane was like staying with family. Lee enjoys Jim's company as much as I enjoy Jane's.
During our stay with Jim and Jane they put 2,000 miles on the car, so you can see Jim really did show us England.
We feel like we will never be able to repay Jim and Jane for making this the trip of a lifetime. We do so hope that their family will make use of our home for their future travels in the USA.
Hopefully Jim and Jane will be able to join us in Florida in 2012.
Until then Jane and I will continue to talk every Sunday and pretend that we are not oceans apart.
I love you both so much, Judy
We flew to Dublin, Ireland and then went through passport inspection and then left for Kennedy airport, New York. The flight went fine and faster than I thought it would be. Once in New York we got a shuttle to the train station (Grand Central) only to find out we needed to be in Penn Station to take the train home to Harrisburg. We had to take 2 subways to get to Penn Station. Once there, we finally got tickets--went down to the platform and the train had just pulled out. Lee had to wait in line and exchange the tickets and we left about an hour later. The train ride was 3 hours and by the time my brother picked us up we had been up for 23 hours. We were exhausted.
WAS IT WORTH IT? YOU BET IT WAS, WE HAVE HAD THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME!!
