Today we drove for about an hour to see a castle - the first of many to be seen. We bought the Heritage Pass, so now we can go to about 600 castles for free. Woohoo! So we'll be out and about a lot. Hopefully, the castles will have features that differ so we don't get bored looking at all the rock ruins. :)These are the kiddos at the top of the main stairs. In the future, I'll be sure to have the people stand in the foreground so you can actually see them, and we'll use the neat places as cool backdrops. :)
So, this is Julianna, Matthew, and Benjamin standing in the kitchen. I'm standing in the room where they stored cheese, bread, etc. The bathrooms were conveniently placed right around the corner of the kitchen - I can just imagine the lovely smells while cooking.
This is Justin standing on the other side of the second story. The floor caved in during the 16th century, and they carved tunnels through the 8 foot thick walls so we could walk around the second story. Wasn't that nice of them? Actually, people have lived in there since the floor collapsed. They just had to do without the dining room. Poor them.
This alcove was built in to emphasize the head seat of the table in the dining room. The big squares at the base of it on the left and right were where floor joists used to be.
