Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Winston Churchill, is one of the largest stately homes in England. It is still privately owned- the 11th Duke of Marlborough currently lives there. It was definitely the most magnificent state home we've visited thus far. Taking photos was not allowed inside, but they had very ornate state rooms. And the gardens were also incredible.

(Above) There was a sea of daffodils along this walking path. They were a little past their peak when we arrived.
(L) Lucas was filthy after slipping in the mid. (R) Jack likes to be photogenic and often sticks out his arms for photos- "ta da." As you can see, Lucas often copies him.

Of course, Lucas found some mud. Hahahaha. That's my little man.
You know, I've never been able to stomach this aristocracy thing.
What a gorgeous house - you got some amazing pictures! Love the 'ta -da' pose. I'll have to put this place on my list of "some day." Did you go through the maze?
