A Letter to a Monarch

Dear Your Majesty,

Thank you for opening your home to us (and so many others) today. Truly, I can see why you like it so much. Its flying buttresses, crenulated towers, smartly marching guards, and commanding view of the countryside make it a fitting weekend retreat. Since your flag was not flying, I can only assume you weren’t home. We missed you.

Although we genuinely enjoyed our day, may I offer a couple of suggestions relative to the running of your palace? Firstly, we had to stand in a very slow line, even though we purchased tickets online the evening before. (I’m not whining – I’m just saying — pre-purchased tickets for other attractions in your realm have allowed us to pass the throngs and enter swiftly.) Possibly Disneyland or TSA could help you with this.

Secondly, would you please have a talk with your ice cream ladies? They need a firm, decisive leader, one who will kick out the line-cutters and fire the girl who scoops slower than molasses in January. Oh, and when the power goes out, maybe they could just offer free ice cream to the rest of the line?

Otherwise, we did have a splendid time.

Yours respectfully,

Kim and Jim

    We saw Windsor from the freeway. ?up close would have been much better! By the way, I think the queen is only there on weekends. I like the picture you took of her!
