February 03, 2018On Saturday the 3rd we had the opportunity to tour Hampton Court with the social group. It just so happens that every time we have a social group event we are greeted with gray skies and rainy weather. Regardless, the experience was great!
Hampton Court was the original Tudor palace. We got to tour Henry VIII's home, the Georgian Palace, the chapel and the royal gardens. Cardinal Wolsey was the original designer of the palace before Henry VIII took it as his own and enlarged it. As I walked through the palace and saw the intricate designs of the tapestries and amount of rooms on the property, it is made obvious that Henry wanted to display his wealth.
