A Day at the Beach

Since Monday is a bank holiday, I decided to have two adventures this weekend...on Sunday I headed down to Brighton, along the coast. It's a very lively city and has its own little Midtown flare if you know what I mean...of course, the shopping here was also very nice and I made quite a few purchases...

But on to the most interesting palaces yet, King George IV fell in love with Brighton as a prince and of course brought high society flocking to Brighton. His Majesty was in love with art, fashion and anything from the Orient. The decorations were lavish and the chandliers amazing... but once Victoria became queen...with her nine children. The palace would not accomdate the size of her court so she sold it to the town of Brighton...

Then off to the Brighton Pier...ok weird to see Victorian architecture at the beach...I mean when you grow up with the Redneck Riveria..its just hard to imagine...

Mmmm look...seeaaafoood! Fish and chips on the boardwalk!

And then sometime chilling on the beach...but no bikinis here ladies...thank goodness...I was still wearing my jacket!


And its a little tough on your tooshie....

Hope everyone has a great week...don't forget to check out the rest of my pictures
