Day 7: Blenheim & Stratford-Upon-Avon


Blenheim Palace is the only non-royal, non-episcopal country house in England to hold the title of palace. It's one of England's largest houses, and was built between 1705 and 1724. It is notable as the birthplace and home of Sir Winston Churchill.

The Churchills were loaded, obviously.

This is where Winston proposed to his wife. It's also where Preston and I held hands.

Really superb photographs! I especially like the close-ups of cute little Mitchell! Can't believe you went to Blenheim without us. ;)
