Today was nice we had a shorter day and we went to Oxford. While in Oxford we went to Blenheim Palace. We took a tour through the Palace but were not allowed to take any pictures of the inside. But Blenheim Palace is very beautiful on the inside. We saw a bunch of historical pictures with Winston Churchill and the baroque style that the palace was decorated in was absolutely amazing and very regal. After we did the inside tour of the Palace we ended up leaving. But before that we had time to go to the pleasure gardens which are a part of the palace grounds that are so cool. They had a miniature golf course and Erika and I putt putted around. it was alot of fun. After that we went and did the hedge maze which was kind of confusing for a bit but it reminded me of the movie Labrynth. We had lunch at this cute little cafe and just looked around at how pretty everything was. We also found a butterfly house and we were able to go inside and there were butterflies everywhere and birds. It was so cool I really wish that my nieces could have been with me because I just know they would have loved it. While inside the butterfly house we were not allowed to touch anything because some of the plants are toxic. Now I don't know if that' true but I didn't want to find out the hard way. We just sat in there and let the butterflies and birds fly around us. They also had little ponds in there that had coy fish swimming around. After that we caught the bus back to our flat and that brings me to the present. It's kind of early so I think I'm gonna shower and then go out for awhile. Anyway that was all I got today.
