A Day in a Year in a Life / Day 157

06/June/2015, Day 157.  Saturday.

Today was an exciting day for us!  We woke up early, (too early, in Grump's opinion), gobbled up a quick breakfast, then hopped in the car and drove to Atlanta, to go to the increasingly wonderful Atlanta Botanical Garden.

We have memberships at the Gardens, and everytime we go to there we find they've added something new, and this time was no exception.  They've expanded the walking trails through the Storza Woods section, probably doubling their length.  These are beautiful, easily accessible, paved trails, so they should be accessible to nearly everyone.

We had a great time, but rather than try to describe what we saw with my feeble words, following are some captioned pics to give you a better idea of what we found there.

Waterlilies!




We did lots of walking


Even Dodong did some walking


...... and of course we did some resting!

Hi Dodong!
Hi Lola!





Lola hiding!

After all this excitement we had a late lunch/early dinner at The Cheesecake Factory at Lenox Square, where we ate, and ate, and ate.  (Yum, yum, yummy!)  After that we drove home, and except for a wee bit of TERROR arrived home safe and sound, and extremely tired.

So anytime you would happen to find yourself in the Atlanta, GA vicinity, I would highly recommend a trip to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens.  We haven't made it to one of their light shows yet, but they appear to be spectacular!
