A visit to see Chihuly's amazing sculptures

My parents and sister's came to town for the weekend, we headed down to the festival to try some yummy food, but it was so humid, a lot of people that we only stayed for a little bit and then headed to the local botanical garden to see the Chihuly's sculptures. It was a fun full filled weekened.

A little Christmas in the air

Every year we love to visit our local garden, the Christmas trees are decorated beautifully in 40 countries for their Christmas & Holiday tradition. The girls love the train that go around the "forest". Merry Christmas & Happy Holiday.
