Sunday we drove about 30 minutes to Ludwigsburg to visit King Ludwig's Palace. Built by King Frederick in the 1700's when he decided to move the summer palace from Stuttgart, he died the year it was finished and never lived inside. King Ludwig lived here with his wife, Elizabeth Matilde.

We had a visit from a Flat Stanley from Colorado Springs, so he came along with us for the tour. He was very good tucked inside our pockets.

This is the queen's bedroom. To the right of the bed is the "toilet chair" which has a chamber pot underneath. 450 rooms and conspicuously absent from the palace are bathrooms... apparently the King and Queen went as the urge called them and didn't even have to leave the room they were sitting in. Baths occurred just once a month. P-ew!

At the end of the tour was a children's dress-up museum for putting on period clothes and pretending one is a little King or Queen of the time. Ethan and Alex took some prodding, but in the end they loved this part. So did our little princess.
