For my last outing with the American wives before the Summer Holiday, we went to Althorp, the family home of Princess Diana. The home is currently lived in and run by Earl Spencer, Diana's brother and his family. We found the home to be very nice, and the tributes to Diana were breathtaking. There were some beautiful displays including items from her childhood, her most well known dresses, her wedding gown, and one of the most moving displays...the condolence books that were sent to the family from around the world.
After seeing the house and enjoying lunch together, we made our way to Diana's memorial. What I didn't realize is that Diana's resting place is on an island in the middle of a pond on the estate.
The visit to Althorp was a very special one, I'm so glad I was able to make the visit.
