A few extra hours of sleep is how it all began today. We did not have to be on the bus until nine o'clock, it was almost like a vacation. Today we went to a the Royal House in Sandringham, which is the winter get away for the royal family. The day started off great with that wonderful few extra hours but then the long part of the day which consist of a two long bus rides. For most of us the bus ride seemed quick. When we arrived we arrived to a massive field of people playing soccer and cricket with their dogs. As usual Martha had to go get our tickets to have free reign all over the country home. We had to walk a little way to the house that was sitting in the middle of a gated area. It was absolutely stunning to see the brick faced house that was built in the late 1800's. Walking through the house was also amazing, to see how the royal family actually lives. What was neat for me was that was that instead of having one person
guide us through the house there were guides in every room that knew everything about the place and were really friendly and informative. The tour through the house only consisted of wondering through a small portion of the bottom floor, and we could not take pictures. My favorite room was the last room which was the ball room, the celling was as high as the sky. Then we were let loose to rome around the fields which had a museum, a lake, and lots of ducks. We were at the country house for a few hours and then we were off early because it was a bit breezy and cold. Our bus driver, David, was kind enough to take us to a town on the ocean side, since we were originally supposed to go to Skegness, it was a marvelous view. David showed us a few sites and then back on the road for the long and gruelling adventure back home; the people in the back decided to have a little nap together. Well Happy Fathers Day to all the dad's out there and good night, morning, afternoon, which ever it is when you read this.
