I have been meaning to post about the Matthews' visit for weeks but we've been so busy I haven't had the chance. Susan, Doug, Anna and Elizabeth came to visit at the end of March during their Spring Break. We ate our favorite pub, the Golden Pot. The Matthews went to Windsor Castle then met us at another pub for lunch and then to the Saville Gardens. They went to London on Sunday and spent the night. They had a pub dinner their as well. Monday Kate and I went to meet them in London. We joined the masses of people to watch the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. We did brass rubbings at St. Martin's in the Field and ended the day with tea at Harrods. Tuesday Susan and Doug and the girls went to Dover and then I met them at Leeds Castle with the kids. They made a wrong turn so Kate, Harry, Joseph and I had a solid hour to wander the grounds on our own. Wednesday we visited Blenheim Palace and then Oxford. Thursday we went to Highclere Castle and ended teh day with dinner at another pub which has since burned down. We packed a lot in the 9 days they were here and had a great time doing it! Kate and I cried for most of the day after they left :( Goodbyes are never easy.
