Kasteel Heeswijk

I had seen another facebook friend post pictures of this beautiful castle near Eindhoven and I had really been wanting to go see it.  It turns out it's only about a 30 minutes drive from our house!  It was built in the 11th century and a few different royalties had control of the castle over the years.  It was also a drop-zone location for American parachuters during WWII.

The day was beautiful, we brought a picnic, and walked around the grounds.  Ryan and Abby had a great time looking at all of the ducks in the water.
