Becky's European Adventures: Blenheim Palace

Today we went to Blenheim Palace. It was really fun and it was a lot bigger than I thought it would be. It was only about a 15 min. bus ride from the house, not bad at all. It would have been perfect if it had been about 70 degrees, because it was still a little cold and windy, but it was still sunny and beautiful. We did not pay to go into the actual palace, but there were plenty of gardens and other things to explore.
We saw a tree at one point and it looked really fun to climb. It was too tall to get up there on our own, so Katie being the shortest decided to boot me up,( I was the shortest) and I was trying to grab onto to something, but there was nothing to grab. So, I lost my balance and the girls tried to catch me but I fell on my back from the tree onto the ground pretty hard. I am fine though, my back just has some scratches on it and it will probably bruise. It sounds worse than it was, it makes a great story and it got a good laugh out of everyone.
There was a cool maze that we went through, and a butterfly room. We did not stay that long and came back to the house. In fact, as I am writing this, I am in the common room watching Sound of Music. I need to get some more homework done, because I leave for IRELAND on Wednesday.

Cheers!
