Isle of Wight

Today was a fabulous day! We were on a two hour bus ride to the ferry to get to the Isle of Wight. The water was absolutely beautiful! 

 Also I love this picture of Me and Sydney. 

 Then we went to Carisbrooke Castle. It was such a cool castle. Charles I was prisoned here and tried to escape so that was cool to see. It was so beautiful and I loved it. 

 Then we went to the Osborne House. This is where Queen Victoria and Prince Albert took their family to get away from the public. It was a beautiful house and the gardens were stunning too. I really liked it. It was just fun to see what life was like outside of the press and public. 

 Prince Albert constructed a Swiss Cottage where he had his 9 children learn how to be self reliant and had a cottage built for them. They learned how to garden, cook, clean, war strategy and many other things. It was really neat to see how he and Queen Victoria raised their children.  

 Each child had their own wheelbarrow and shovel for a plot of land to have a garden. 

 Lauren and I. 

 Then we walked down to the beach that they owned. It was beautiful and that water felt so nice. I wish I had my swimming suit so that I could have jumped in. 

 I have the worst chacos tan line, but I love it!

It was just so beautiful and I enjoyed every minute of it. I wish we could have stayed a little longer, but I am glad that we got to take the excursion out there. 

Cheers!
