Leeds Castle

While Drew was visiting we took a day trip to Leeds Castle, which was about 2.5 hours southeast of our town. The castle was beautiful, and the grounds were even more impressive. It was so lush and green, and meticulously landscaped. We had packed a picnic lunch, but it was too cold so we ended up eating it in the car. :) 

The inside of the castle was decorated according to the times it was lived in, but it was interesting because a woman lived in it up until the 1960s, so certain wings of the castle had slightly more modern decorations that the rest of the castle. It was interesting to see the old and the new in the same OLD castle!

My favorite room - the library

There was a nice aviary in the gardens for us to explore
