peaceful

The girls and I went to Fairchild Gardens on Sunday because I kept seeing posts from friends on Facebook showing something that I wanted to see. We had hoped to end Christmas break with a bang by heading to the west coast but the bang ended up being right at our front door.

Ever since my first trip to Washington I have loved the artwork of Dale Chihuly and lucky for me Lily loves it too. I wasn't even concerned about Ro as we all know she just tags along with Mama. Turns out she loved it and we had a fabulous day. The botanical gardens are just beautiful and a very serene place to be. Yoko Ono has a wishing tree there and it is covered in little paper wishes, the girls added their own.

Wa Wa's. 

These look like skinny balloons to me and not a favourite but still amazing 

It's a bridge, I love bridges, nuff said

at the end of this corridor is the wishing tree

just loved it

These chairs were ghastly but they caught Rosies eye the second we arrived, it took a couple of hours to find the path that led to them

love the colors

An aside, I wear prescription sun glasses that are polarized, she was in awe with something in the pond and I couldn't see it. Once I took off my glasses I agreed, it was stunning.

I really don't care for greed but darn, I wanted them all.
