Alicia turns 29... for the rest of her life

For Alicia's birthday, we drove up to Windsor castle and got stuck in traffic because of a police chase. The castle is still in use by the Queen today. It's huge. The castle grounds are broke up into a few parts, the first being the tower which overlooks everything for miles.

Next is a row of housing and the famous St Georges Chapel. The Chapel tour has some interesting history to it, but unfortunately there's no photography inside. Below is the chapel on the left.

Then there's the Quadrangle courtyard. Yeah, it's a square with a fancy name.

Part of the castle tour takes you inside to look through the rooms which are still decorated and some are used today. There's some cool stuff in there. My favorite was the foyer surrounded by various suites of armor, swords and guns. My least favorite was the china room dedicated to the royal plates, bowls and cups. There is also a replica dollhouse of the castle that was a birthday gift to the queen. It features working items, including plumbing, and items that were state of the art when created such as vacuums. It's not your ordinary dollhouse.

We concluded our trip with a birthday dinner at a Greek restaurant. Neither one of us had ever eaten Greek food. It's delicious.
