Hampton Court Palace

We went on the train to Hampton Court Palace.  It is where Henry the VIII lived with his 6 wives.  One at a time, most of the time.  Later William the III also lived there.  We learned alot.
The Gardens and grounds were just beautiful.King Henry even came and visited with us lowly peasants. 

More illegal Pics inside the Kings residence

In the Privy garden of William III.  This part of the Palace wasn't here when Henry was king.  Notice my far off look.
Now Nathan and I are King and Queen.  
The Garden was so amazing.  The Wisteria smelled heavenly.
We look a spin around the grounds by horse drawn carriage.  And then we were done.  It was a wonderful day.  Just perfect weather.
