The Queen has a last name?

Who knew that Queen Elizabeth's last name is Windsor?  I didn't until recently; I know dumb, right? Well today we got to experience Windsor Castle after making a quick and muddy stop at Runnymede.

The apartments at Windsor are closed the next two weeks for their yearly cleaning so we didn't get to see too much.  Fortunately we could get a stamp on our tickets that allows us to come back for free anytime before January 13, 2013.  The coolest thing at Windsor in my opinion is the Queen's Dolls House.  This this is ginormous.  It has running water, working electricity, real tiny books, and the whole shebang!  If you ever make it to Windsor you have see it!

After touring Windsor we wandered down into Eton, home of the famous Eton College for boys.  A lot of girls definitely liked this place because of the boys wearing tailcoats.  We wanted a picture but didn't want one with a younger boy who was walking by himself (we were afraid of creeping him out), so the next boys that walked around the corner were older and in a pair.  Naturally we asked them to pose for a photo with us! We're convinced one of them will be the prime minister one day.

We had to eat our food on some random bench because it's cheaper to buy 

"take away" food than to sit in the actual restaurant

Disclaimer:
I did not take this photo, I stole it from Rachel's blog.  But apparently this is somewhere in Eton
so let's just pretend that I actually saw the real thing.
