Have fun storming the castle!

Last weekend was my second of four weekends spent with JB in the Great White North. (Thank you JetBlue!) I decided we should do a little sight-seeing along the way and I found Boldt Castle. A love story that tragically ended, it is a beautiful island and really neat place to visit. See if you are me, you think that Mr. Boldt was devastated when his wife passed, but if you are JB, you assume she nagged him incessantly about building her a castle, you know, if he really loved her and when she died he was relieved to know that he no longer had to build a castle he didn't want laden in girly hearts. So, it depends on who you talk to. Whichever story you chose to go with the beauty of the buildings and island is hard to deny.

While you are there, stop by some of the little shops in Alexandria Bay, NY. It is a cute little town with plenty of parking, once you find it. So without further delay, I present Boldt Castle.

This is the Yacht House. We didn't pay the extra money to head over and check it out, so I can't tell you much about it. But you get a picture anyway.

This one is the Play House. There were no plans made and it was build ad hoc if you will.

That's JB and the Play House.

This is from the 4th floor balcony. It had an amazing view.

The next three pictures are of the outside of the castle. I'm not sure who those two people are but now they are semi-famous as "those people" in my picture.

These two pictures are of the Power House. It was build before the castle was even thought to be built. It is really cool and might be my favorite building on the island.

The pictures really don't do it justice. The weather was beautiful and my time was spent laughing, which of course makes the whole thing that much more enjoyable. If you are ever in the area, I say check it out. Next on the list is Singer Castle. :)
