Laurie and I leave next Sunday for our "bucket list" trip to Prince Harry's royal wedding in Windsor and boy, we are excited! Yes, I know I hate big crowds and may be standing in one for hours in the rain to see a glimpse of the royals in the 2 mile carriage parade. But we are thrilled to be part of all the excitement leading up to Sat May 19 and I am DVR'ing the television broadcast so I can see it all on TV when we get home.
Meanwhile, we hope to blog and share our adventure with all our friends, many of whom are waking up at 5am to host wedding watching parties. Princess Diana will be there with us in spirit and our sincere hope is that both her sons will enjoy happiness in their marriages that eluded her in hers. In addition to being there for Harry on his big day, we may get to see history's longest-reigning British monarch and 3 future Kings of England.
As I figure out comfortable walking shoes and rain gear to take, here are some things we're planning to do once we get there...
