I know just how she feels - while in France on a chateau tour, I kept having those moments of "Leonardo da Vinci walked RIGHT HERE. Napoleon Bonaparte is buried RIGHT HERE." Nothing compares to the visit to the castle where Ever After was filmed though. "Dougray Scott walks through THIS GARDEN with Drew Barrymore!" :)Natalie DeYounghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16906680301422288990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-43434058804530720312013-01-19T21:03:51.207-05:002013-01-19T21:03:51.207-05:00This is so awesome!!

We walked into a room, and I said, those curtains look just like Gone with the Wind. The tour guide said, "Well, because they are!" then showed us the photos.

We're going to have to bump it up, though, now that the youngest two are getting to be old enough to get in on the rotation. We'll probably do two trips next year. We do love doing this with them.
