at the botanical gardens

We took advantage of the long Easter weekend and went to the Chicago Botanic Gardens.

Not too much was in bloom yet, but it was really fun to walk around and enjoy the sun.

We got a membership so that we can have free parking this year. So any Moms in the area- let me know if you want to go with us sometime during the week!!
