On Tuesday we went to Blenheim Palace, home of the Duke of Marlborough, and Stow-in-the-Wold, a town in the Cotswolds. At Blenheim we walked around and saw an exhibit on Winston Churchill (related to the first Duke of Marlborough) and then we saw the State rooms. After that, we walked around the gardens which were very nice. Stow-in-the-Wold had some cool little buildings (and some really old ones) and we went to a cheap restaurant to eat fish and chips (fries). We were going to go punting but we decided to go home and get some extra rest.

Of course I had to take a picture of the duck and duckling
