Another UNESCO World Heritage Site!
Blenheim Palace is where the Duke of Marlborough's still lives.

It was originally a gift to John Churchill (the first Duke of Marlborough's) from Queen Anne for his victory of the Batte of Blenheim in the 18th c.
It is also important because another Churchill was born here - Winston Churchill who won the Battle of Britain in the 20th c.
This place was perfect for the kids - it's a 2000 acre yard! WOW!
We rode the train from the palace to the kid's zone (I guess) where there was a butterfly building and the kids went crazy with all the butterfly's landing on them, a huge outdoor chess game with the pieces the size of a five yr old, and one of the world's largest 'symbolic hedge maze'. It was a highlight for the kids to run through the maze.
