We started off our long weekend with a stop in Margate to see Lucy the Elephant. Lucy is over 130 years old and is protected as a National Historic Landmark...
Lucy is six stories tall and is billed as the World's Largest Elephant :-)
We got to see the inside of Lucy by climbing up a spiral staircase in her rear left leg. Once inside, we saw a short video about Lucy's history and her many incarnations as a real estate office, tavern, summer residence, and now a tourist attraction. After the video, we got to walk around, looking outside the windows and then climb up to the howdah-shaped roof!
For one summer, Lucy was used as an apartment for a family. Clare loved looking at this bathtub on display - she kept asking if she could take a bath in "Loosey the Ellelant!
After the tour, the kids took a break on to sit on Lucy's toes and pet their teeny tiny Lucy toys!
