Of Swans and Castles

Because we achieved a verbal agreement on a rental price for a house yesterday and don't sign paperwork until tomorrow, today was our first day not consumed with viewing and negotiating properties.

We took the train north a quick 2 stops and visited Tonbridge Castle.

(That's part of the castle grounds in the distance beyond the flower-adorned bridge.)



Admission is free but you can get a guided tour of the gatehouse for a fee.  We opted to keep the kids moving and just leisurely explore the grounds and have a picnic lunch.



The views of Tonbridge made a nice backdrop for a lunch of cheese, baguette, grapes, almonds... 
and Pringles.
European with an American twist. :)


The view of the bridge with the swans was particularly beautiful.


The swan family looked like a mama, a daddy, and three little ones.


 We know a little bit about that configuration.


I wonder if Mama Swan gets begged to go to the playground as much as we do?
