Buckingham Palace

Today I went for a tour of Buckingham Palace. The palace is only open to the public for a few months in the summer, when the Queen is in Scotland. I especially wanted to go because there was a special exhibition of 80 pieces of formal wear worn by the Queen throughout her reign. It was a very cool exhibit. I wish I could have gorgeous dresses specially designed for me on every occasion imaginable. We weren't allowed to take pictures but I got some postcards. Of course seeing all the state rooms was also very impressive. The gardens behind the palace were also very pretty (shown here). You can check out more pictures here. Since I've moved here I'm more and more intrigued by the monarchy so I'm going to have to check out some books.
