Thanks for the tour! I've seen some of these in person, but not all of them.

I think I like Windsor Castle the best. I love this blog because I feel like I know a lot about their homes, but haven't seen pictures.

Windsor Castle is beautiful. I got to visit The Tower of London on my trip to London in October, but I don't remember hearing anything about Elizabeth I living there.
