The Castle in Pennsylvania


Okay - so the kids couldn't wait 5 weeks to find out if it was a real castle, so I emailed WEC for more information. This is what they sent me. It was built in 1880 as Sarah Drexel's Summer mansion. It is located on Camp Hill which is so named as George Washington camped here in the winter of 1777 before going on to Valley Forge.

The area we get to call home is on the second floor and includes the three rounded windows (from the left). We will have 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (now I'm being spoiled!!). I imagine this could be quite an adventure!

WOW! The kids are going to be thrilled! Maybe this will ease their transition to a new country a bit ...

What a cool place to live! That will be an adventure. You will have to get some cool castle stories to read while you are there.
