On Sunday we started our day at the Tower of London, which was very fascinating. This castle was just amazing and has such an interesting history, albeit filled with horror and tragedy. Sean had us try to make a terrified face when we took this picture...I think Mia and I got it right...Alexa went for sad and Avery tried to look scary instead of being scared!
The White Tower is at the center of the castle, which served as a royal residence as well as dungeon. Currently it is being used as a museum of the Royal Armour, and also a gift shop.
We went on a brief tour of the grounds led by one of the "Beefeaters" which was both informative and hilarious!
Here we are climbing one of the spiral staircases in the White Tower.
Some of the royal armour on display in the White Tower. In addition to touring the White Tower and the grounds of the castle, we got to view the Crown Jewels, which are stored on site under strong security of course. No pictures were allowed, but they were quite a sight! I've never seen so much gold and gemstones in my life.
As we left the Tower of London, we enjoyed the view of the beautiful Tower Bridge.
