Muiderslot

Today we borrowed a car and ventured off to Muiderslot, about an hour away. Muiderslot is a castle that dates back to the thirteenth century. It is a quintessential knights castle, complete with six feet thick walls and a moat surrounding the castle. We were blessed with relatively dry weather, though the skies did stay overcast.

The kids in front of Muiderslot

The balcony hangs over the courtyard.

Tom was not the most comfortable crossing over.

Peek-a-boo!

Some old armor from the knights.

The view out a tiny window in one of the towers.

We always knew she was a joker!

Lady Evelyn looks out waiting for her knight in shining armor.

Beautiful! The castle, too.
