After much driving around in circles, the Covert family finally found there way to me in Oxford and my dearest Lizzi and I were at last reunited again! If you’d told us 5 years ago that our reunion post-highschool and college would occur in England, we probably wouldn’t have believed you! But given our teenage dreams of traveling Europe and reliving Jane Austen novels in their country of origin, it seemed as if fate had brought us together again with perfect timing! :)
As soon as they were settled in Oxford, we took off to tour the lovely Windsor, on what turned out to be the first in a string of uncharacteristically gorgeous summer days!… We got lost quite a bit on the way, ended up not being able to tour the Palace, and thus a plan was hatched…
Our plot began as a simple tactical maneuver to gain castle entrance over one of the many, and lofty, stone walls… Which we imagined were certainly guarded by a plethora of little red suited soldier in funny hats. So it was determined that Kaitlyn, as she was both the smallest (for hiding in dark crevices of castle walls, of course) and fastest (plus she has mad tae-kwon-do moves), must be the one to do the deed. We spent the afternoon walking the lovely town of Windsor, drinking milkshakes, and examining the walls for visible weaknesses in their defense.
And by the end of the day our scheme had become an elaborate plot in which Kaitlyn would infiltrate and marry Harry, single-handedly assume the thrown, and then instate Lizzi as the Archbishop of Canterbury (Primate of the Church of England) and lead me to a land-slide political victory as Prime Minister. Lizzi and I would lead England benevolently, whilst Kaitlyn remained a figure-head, kept content by the multiplicity of palaces and crowned jewels. :) I’m still convinced it wasn’t an entirely bad notion…. Haha
Lizzi: In what would become her usual “video-camera at the ready” form. :)

And much other shenanigans walking around Windsor…
