random adventures continued


Another day, I ventured to the Botanical Gardens with our usual girl crew—Cheyenne, Hollie, and Amy, as well as a few of the boys. It was a pretty decent walk, but a nice day and new part of the city we hadn’t seen, so it was fine. We stopped at the Shrine of Remembrance on the way there, which is a veterans’ memorial. It was a very pretty monument with big columns, big steps, and a nice surrounding garden. We were able to go up to the balcony of it where we would see the whole city from afar. It was really cool. After some pictures and what not, we headed onto the gardens. We spent a few hours wandering around there looking at all of the beautiful flowers, trees, and other plants, then took a while to relax at this scenic lake area. There were swans and different birds all around on the grass. They would come right up to us, within inches, just stand there for a little, and then walk away.
After a long day of walking, we headed home to stay in and relax that night.
