I need more mazes in my life.

Chatsworth House is a great place! It is where the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire resides and they are nice enough to let tourist prance about their 1000 acres of property. It was maybe the most lavish and fancy places I have seen! It is slightly newer than some of the castle I have been visiting so everything was in mint condition! It was also decorated for Christmas which made me so happy!

When we first got there and were approaching the front door we saw this massive sculpture of a naked pregnant women. It was so out of place first off and slightly distasteful, in my opinion. Oh and as we got to the front of the statue we learned that half of it was showing the insides including bones and muscle and even the baby. It was really dumb and I think need to be removed immediately from this beautiful property!

The house was awesome but the real reason for this visit was the maze! I had been longing to visit a hedge maze so I did some research and found out about this place. I had been looking forward to this for quite some time and it measured up to everything I was hoping for. The shrubs were about 10 feet tall. I literally ran in when I saw it out of pure excitement. I made a turn and right away I found myself at a dead end. I was giddy like a small child running through this. Adrienne and I had split up and gone different ways. We ended up finding each other and then stuck together in our hunt to find the center. It was a lot harder then I was expected and this pleased me thoroughly. We kept ending up at places we had already been. We finally succeeded in making it to the middle!

Then to top off my excitement we stopped in at the restaurant and I had a piece of cake……………It was AMAZING. It was actually not frosted on the top but had such a good amount in the middle layer that is was a-ok in my book It also had strawberry jam in the middle too. The frosting was mighty good!

Good Day!
