Thanksgiving Point

Zack and I went on a date Saturday afternoon and spent some time at The Thanksgiving Point Gardens while the Tulip Festival was underway. Neither of us had been there before and we had a great time walking around the 55 acres of gardens. The flowers were pretty and we want to go back again after the Tulip Festival and see what other flowers and greenery grows, especially when the trees are green.

A waterfall they had. You could walk above the waterfall on a path or play down below in a large grassy area. There was even a band playing.

We ran into my Uncle John and Aunt Amy and their cute kids Spencer and Ava. We were walking along the edge of the pond and I said hey that kid looks like my cousin Spencer. Zack and I looked closer and Zack said, "He still looks like your cousin Spencer." Then we saw my Uncle John. It was such a pleasant surprise. Thanks for chatting with us.

This was Zack's favorite place.

One of my favorite gardens.

I loved this area. I loved the different heights of the flowers and the depth that it created. This was what I was expecting when I thought of the Tulip Festival. Oh I loved it!

Italian Garden. It was funny how the tulips only grew on the left side and not the right. Zack was telling me it is probably because they get less sun on the right.

Oh and we loved these rose gardens. The archway was beautiful. If we have a large enough yard we decided that we would love a smaller version of something like this woodwork. There were others throughout the gardens and various plants would grow on. I believe that roses will grow near these soon. It was so pretty.

Some more of the tulips. I loved the colors and different variations of the tulips.

I also loved the Secret Garden it had this amazing tunnel that led into a garden. It was really full so I did not take any pictures but so pretty.
