Ripley Castle

I think my princesses aren't as eager to live in a castle as they used to be. They toured this castle Monday and I think all they really told me about was the house Dr.'s remedy involving cow waste and something else to rub on your chest. They got to go on a kids tour, but the stroller didn't fit so I stayed out with the babies and toured the grand gardens. This is only maybe an eighth of what I toured. Beautiful. They had "kitchen gardens" I think it was herbs and lettuce type vegetation, a greenhouse with loads of cactus, probably every type of garden, I'm just not in the know in this field. It was gorgeous though. Too bad we thought Beau could use the camera more than I. It seems though that if a family lives in the castle you are touring you can't take pictures. I could've gotten some great ones, but with the huge clouds looming we didn't stay after the kids tour to take pictures.
