Hey y’all! Hope your week is flying by, because, let’s be real, the 8 to 5 is for the birds! My week has gone pretty well, except it seems that my to do list is growing rather than shrinking. But the weekend is near, and that means work-work-work. Luckily, it’s all the work I love to do! 🙂 None of that yucky 8 to 5 mess. Anyway, how about some fun! I’ve gathered up a few pictures, yes just a few–I must’ve taken a million, of our visit to the Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Gardens during our Dallas trip.

Since we went in the Fall, the Arboretum was fully decked out in some 90,000 pumpkins! It’s nothing short of magical! Along with all of the typical garden and lawn views, an area of the Arboretum is covered, and I mean covered, in thousands upon thousands of pumpkins of every variety and of every size! There are houses made of pumpkins, mazes of hay bales, and even a horse drawn carriage. It’s truly a beautiful sight to see! Along with the beautiful pumpkins, while perusing the gardens, we caught a glimpse of a sail boat race in nearby White Rock Lake. That was really something, an unexpected treat!

The entire grounds is is truly a sight to see, and if you’re ever in the area, especially in the Fall, you must stop by for a little visit. I must add, when you visit be sure to arrive early, just as they open, or you’ll be waiting in a very long line! We arrived just in the nick of time, right at opening, and by the time we left, the line was at least a half a mile long. #notexaggerating We were very glad we made the Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Gardens our first stop of the day, and definitely happy we put this on our itinerary. You’ll be happy you did too!
