Spring at Maymont
I love to take the kids to Maymont as many times as I can every year--since I Sara took us there to discover how impressive and beautiful this space is.
There isn't a lot about Richmond that I like, and little that I really enjoy--but I genuinely love experiencing Maymont with my kids.
Daddy has never gone with us, and we will have to rectify that soon.
On a whim (and of course it is Spring Break) I decided to take the kids. I had an ulterior motive, as I really wanted Easter pictures since it rained Sunday, but I promised them after pictures they could change in the car and we would explore.
They were game ;)
And, this time we explored new things! Gracie suggested we find the Italian Garden, and it seemed like such a tall hike I kind of put down the request. And thankfully, I gave in and we climbed and climbed and found the most beautiful of all the gardens before us.
I thanked Gracie for being firm about exploring a new area, and we all drank in the springtime in our new favorite Maymont location!
And, we did more new things too--we actually climbed to the spot at the top of the waterfall and we found the mansion. We were great spring time explorers today, and I got great pictures of it all!
Oh, and not only do we want to take Daddy soon, we want to take Sara back--this time with baby Ella!!
