Last weekend, while my college buddy, Donna 2, was here, we all went out to the Arboretum for a morning walk and a picnic on the grounds. Mikaela had a wonderful time and Mike was able to take some great pictures.
Right now they are doing an Alice in Wonderland Exhibit. They have three or four different plant houses to depict various scenes from the story.

Then we spent another hour or two walking around the grounds seeing various gardens. The arboretum is so beautiful. And thanks to a morning storm, the temperature wasn't too high until after lunch, even though it was humid. |

| Mikaela loved having a picnic - we think this is actually her first real picnic. |
