Monday Escapes

Once upon a time...

There was an enchanted forest...

Where there was a door..


That led to a secret garden...


A castle loomed in the distance...



Further along the road, a larger garden unfurled...


Trailing a path to the castle gates...


Once inside the castle walls, there were many delights to behold...


Like the stunning vistas that peeked out from every corner...


This wouldn't be a real fairy tale without an evil creature, but luckily you can climb the spire stairs to escape...
And enjoy the views of the charming town below...

 

If one storybook castle wasn't enough, another stone castle awaited...


And they all lived happily ever after...
