Three Things...Gratitude Thread

Love castles

I have been fortune enough to be at DISNEY several times for Earth Day and they always do a huge sand castle and I have enjoyed tremendously seeing the sand castles they are absolutely gorgeous is such a beautiful talented thing they’re not always castles they’ve been animals they’ve been all kinds of things but they are just absolutely gorgeous I’m so grateful I’ve gotten to see those

Dover Castle i’m so grateful that I got to see a real castle and get to go in it and tour it it was just so cool to be in a real castle and think about the people back in the day that used to live in this castle it was just really cool

Windsor Castle & Tower of London again extremely lucky unfortunate to get to see those castles too I’m a huge history fan so I guess was just over the moon happy to see real castles Very grateful

Magic Kingdom Castle That’s my favorite castle it’s actually the first one I’ve ever seen and I enjoy seeing it every time I see it

Castles is an interesting one!

1. Disney - an obvious one, but you can't think of Disney without picturing or thinking of a castle.

2. 25th Anniversary Cake Castle - this was at Disney the first time I ever visited back in 1997 and it will always hold a special place in my heart and is the castle I remember most vividly.

3. Bran Castle - I was fortunate enough to travel to Romania a few years ago and visit "the home" of Count Dracula. It was a beautiful place, incredibly scenic and such a nice place to visit.

Happy Saturday

Sandcastles are fun to create and look at.

Memories of playing miniature golf at a castle themed course. It is still in business.

Disneyland castle, of course.

Sand and castles
1. The huge sand box I had as a kid. I spent hours in it everyday. It was straight out the back door and under an even bigger sugar maple tree that provided shade all day and was also home to my tire swing. Those were the days.

2. St. Pete's Beach, where DH took me for the second half of our honeymoon. The first time I ever got to see the coast, put my feet in salt water, pick up shells, and walk on the beach at sunset.

3. Cinderella's Castle at MK. DH took me to WDW for the first half of our honeymoon week. MK is my favorite park. You just can't beat the view of Cinderella's Castle all the way down Main Street. Especially at night with all lights on. So many fond memories there with him and the kids.

4. Nags Head. A family trip with DH's parents and sister many years ago. DH and I built a huge sand castle, took many walks, and flew kites. Great memories.

Castles on the Hudson River valley seen from the USMA...and grateful there are no flying monkies or brooms of any significance

Osborne Castle, Garrison New York
Sits on the very top of the bear mountain range area and folklore that it was the model for the movie

Bannerman Castle sits in the middle of the Hudson River and has an amazing history and I think is seen out the window of Hitchcock North by Northwest as the train travel past USMA West point... for sure the castle features of USMA is seen in the movie where I worked on the street level... never went to the top as I had a different place to view the river

....and let not forget Judy Collins for All of us in 1970s choirs
...bows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air

Grateful for both sides now...yep... all of you Cinderella fans.... you have a banana split... and ours ... sure it's very vanilla... but most folks love vanilla

It's here in LA. Castle Park Mini Golf in Van Nuys when though it has Sherman Oaks in its name.

I'm not much into castles, but I like these answers from some of you: miniature golf castles, sand castles, and the "castles in the air" line in the song.

I know Judy recorded it, but Joni wrote it (and recorded it)
