Over Labor Day weekend we drove up to Chester and Northern Wales. We stayed halfway the first night and spent Saturday in Chester. We then went into Wales to a beautiful Bed and Breakfast that seemed like it was in the middle of nowhere. Our hosts were great and the food was so good. On Sunday we went to 2 castles as well as a Victorian seaside town. Monday we went to a really small castle then headed slowly home, making a stop at a basket shop. We had great weekend-it was so nice to get away!
Our Favorite castle-Conwy Castle

It was so cold and windy-typical for northern Wales
We had a great 1 1/2 hour personal tour that made the castle come alive!
On the way home we stopped at a basket shop where they have been weaving their own baskets for over 100 years. Andy got to try and they wanted everyone to know we were in Wales so they gave us a Welsh flag and insisted it be in the picture!
Andy actually did a good job- we bought 2 baskets- one was a dog bed-but Andy didn't weave those!
This is Caernarfon Castle-one of the most famous in Wales.
View from the inside
The big guns!
LOTS of stairs!
Another view from the inside-you can really see how huge it is!
This is the town of Chester, near the boarder of Wales. It is a beautiful Elizabeathan city with great buildings. (as you can see in the background)
