My Son at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, Georgia, March 2014
Last week, my son and I took an opportunity, through a special event in which we enjoyed a discounted entry, to enjoy the beautiful and educational Atlanta Botanical Gardens. I had not been there in at least 13-14 years, and had never before taken my son there to visit. A great opportunity came up, and so, we went!
My Son Near a Cobra Statue at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, Georgia, March 2014
Among the many varieties of flowers in bloom at the Gardens are tulips, daffodils, and pansies. They were so beautiful, and the fragrance of the miniature daffodils was wonderful! It was a treat to speak with a number of the volunteers at the Gardens who gave us information about the collections there, as well as about gardening tools and maintenance.

In all, my son and I were at the Gardens for about two hours. Even though it was wet and rainy during our visit, we had a great time. After all, Spring is here, and with it, comes needed rain! Visiting the Gardens was also a great way to start Spring Break.
