Behold, a day trip to Hampton Court Palace! We boarded a train and set out for the Palace. Gayle was intrigued given her new love of the television show "The Tudors" and the rest of us? Well, it was a gorgeous day to spend outside!
Here we are boarding the train! (By the way, apparently a number of people inside the train thought I was filming them or celebrity...needless to say, what I thought was discreet train filming wasn't!!)

Hampton Court Palace is a Tudor palace, magnificently developed by Cardinal Wolsey and later King Henry VIII, alongside a baroque palace built by William III and Mary II. 
A "side garden"! Really, the Palace is beautiful -- but the gardens are where its really at! There are loads of secret and not so secret side gardens, main gardens, and of course, a maze at the Palace. Just being on the property instantly makes you think you are royalty! (Until some other tourist and their child go streaming by and you realise, alas, you are a mere mortal!)
Another "side" maze!!
