Mother's Day

I had a lovely Mother's Day. I think it may have been the best ever. Rebekah and I took my Mother to a bridge that has been converted into a really beautiful garden. The garden stretches over the bridge and down the sides and almost under the bridge. It was so sweet and lovely. We will have to go back again soon. 

It was filled with little gardens within the garden. This was in one of the children's gardens. 

The mirror, mirror on the wall area was very creative.  I also loved how they converted the old boat below into a darling garden. 

The doggie stick library was too cute. Dogs are welcome in the garden and they could get some fresh water and pick a stick to take home from this section. 

We somehow lost the picture of all three of us. which is such a disappointment. 

After our lovely walk through the garden, we went into the tiny town. We had lunch and then went to the "new" permanent carnival which is a collection of rides from the 1940's and 1950's. We were stunned to see the Merry-Go-Round that used to stand on the Museum Mall in downtown Washington, D.C. It is the very same Merry-Go-Round that I grew up riding on whenever we were in the city and had been right across the street from my father's work. We just had to go on it! 

It was such a thrill to go on something that I had grown up riding on. What a small world we live in! Who would have thought we would find something like this more than 500 miles from my childhood home?

We took my Mother home, then picked up my husband and sons. We wrapped up the day by attending a showing of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. It was a perfect day!
