Day 2 - Palace of Versailles

Day 2 was the Palace of Versailles. Surely this would impress the kids. David insisted that the Castle near our home was bigger. We assured him that he was wrong. He wasn't convinced.
The big story was the wheelchair. We approached the grounds and saw a 90 minute wait to buy tickets and then an additional 60+ minute wait to enter the building.
Daphne walked up to a staff member and asked if there was anything special to know about bringing in Brian via wheelchair and they waived us up to the building. He unlocked a door and ushered us in. Daphne protested that we had not yet purchased tickets and he said, "...it's ok..."Brian's broken foot saved us hours of waiting and only cost us 5 Euros a day to rent. Daphne and I asked Julia and David which one would be breaking a leg when we visit London next year. The lines for Windsor Castle can be murder....
