Princess Caslte :D

 This is everyone after the hour long bus ride out to see the Castle. It was a beautiful little wooded place that I really enjoyed walking through.

 There's the Castle!!!!

 Amy found here king while we were there :)

 Everyone Standing under the archway as you enter the back garden area of the Castle.

 (Left: Susie, Mikah, Amy, Brittany, Victoria, Chance, Michael) It was really amazing to see a Castle.

 This is a summer Castle given to a German princess by her uncle as a wedding gift in the late 19th Century.

 Brittany found a hidden door on the back of the archway gate.

 Here's a fireplace inside the Castle. It was really dusty inside and looked very run-down.

 Some of the people who used to live in the Castle.

 The Ballroom! I will admit that I may have taken a few turns and spins while in here. Might have even been singing a few songs from Anastasia in my head too :)

 These are where the people used to shower. Doesn't look like it would be very warm or clean.

 The Grand Staircase that you use to enter if you were a guest.

 The Balcony. We were unable to go up to the second and third floors because they are working on remodeling it. I wish I could've gotten a picture from the top but this will have to do.

 Here is Mikah on the grounds of the castle. I just turned a looked and had to get a picture of her.

 The bridge that you cross 7 times to bring you luck in finding a future companion. It was a long time crossing that bridge with everyone 7 times.

 Susie and Chance standing on the stairs as you enter the castle. Behind Chance is part of the dungeon where they used to possibly keep all their animals like bears and tigers and such.

 This is everyone making the trip down the stairs. It was quite a workout. It makes me wonder how the royalty could stay so pleasantly plump when they had to walk up and down those stairs whenever they went out.

 Here's Michael at the bottom of the stairs.

 Me on the Stairs.

 Here's a random wedding car. In Russia most of the cars of the bridal party are decorated while the car with rings, doves, or some other wedding decor has the bride and groom. They travel all around town honking horns and taking pictures at all the different sites.

 Here's everyone waiting to go into the Russian Ballet. We weren't allowed to take pictures inside but it was amazing. We watched the Nutcracker which was really amazing. Had a lot of fun watching it.

Here are some random trees that they lit up in the park during the night. Thought it looked really cool.
