So today we took our first trip outside of London. We travelled up to Warwick Castle, about 2 hours away. The castle is now owned by Madame Toussauds, and the people Scott works with said it was a bit cheeky. Warwick Castle is what you would envision at a Renaissance Fair plus the castle. We first went to the Merlins Dragon show where we got to help Merlin battle the evil Dragon. We didn’t do much except watch a little show but the girls thought it was pretty cool. We then grabbed a snack and headed to the Princess show. There, we helped a lady-in-waiting get her mistress dressed for her wedding. (Scott and I were definitely understanding the cheeky comment but the girls were loving it.) Then we went to the live bird show where a trainer had and owl, bald eagle & type of vulture fly around. It was great! We went to see the birds after. There were even more birds and a baby owl – a little puff of white. Very cute. Then we were right next to the Trebuchet show. There, we got to see the actors launch a large rock from the trebuchet. It was so neat! We made a final stop to the playground at the castle and then off to the hotel to spend a night in Coventry.
Word to the wise, do not stay in Coventry. It was the closest hotel available to the castle at a pretty decent rate (As Scott said, our standards have been lowered by our stay in our house:-) But Coventry is a pretty non-descript city. I was just so happy to have a proper shower!
