Ready to go into the Royal Mews!!

Hanging around in St. James Park!
Is the Queen in?
A few weekends ago Mom took me to the Royal Mews. (Marco stayed at home with daddy.) Gretchen, Brooke and Ryan came as did Cara, Leah and Sarah. Brooke and Ryan's neighbor Ahmen came too. We had a great time. It was really interesting. We saw lots of neat things.
The Mews are located behind Buckingham Palace. King Henry the VIII built them as falconers hundreds of years ago -- a long long time before I was born. The Queen's horses (the ones that come down from our neighborhood every other day) live here!! We didn't see them though. The royal carriages are kept here as well. They are very beautiful. The carriage that carried Princess Diana to her wedding is here! We got to see it!! My BF, Sarah, and I studied all the carriages in great detail. We thought this was a fun trip (probably b/c we got to use the ear phones too!). The best part of the whole day was playing in the park and getting a big fat ice cream after our visit to the Mews!!!
We tried to see the queen but she didn't want visitors.... We did see the end of the Changing of the Guard though!
