gardens at St. George

In the St. Croix this week magazine, a storytime was advertised at the St. George gardens.  Our family packed up the van and headed West.  When we arrived (on time may I add) we were told the storytime was not happening.  We then parked and paid the $18 admission fee to see the botanical gardens.

LOVELY.  The gardens are set on the ruins of a sugar plantation and are spectacular indeed.  It was a self guided tour, so we did a fair amount of wandering off the path, but we had a wonderful time together.  Turns out, Anders is an excellent navigator.  When we finished our ramble, we unloaded our picnic lunch and dined.  YUMMY.  PB&J pancakes, tuna salad sandwiches, veggie straws, lots of water and a bottle of Presidente. 

Sometimes plans don't happen exactly as planned, but beauty can still be retrieved.
