Plumb Blossoms

 Today we decided to go to the Plumb blossom park with Lena and Chris! Follow the plumb blossom road!!

 The first thing you see when you get to the entrance is a bamboo forest, not plumb blossoms. Deceiving indeed.

   There were a lot of stairs, and when I say a lot, that is an understatement! Stage 1.

 Stage 2. I lost track after stage 2... haha, Dane took a picture of me "going down", I opted out of posting it! ;)

 Once we got to the top of the first hill we saw the trees, it was beautiful. Well worth the huffing and puffing!

There are lots of little pathways.

 Lena, Chris and Gabe directly above! To the right, just kinda shows you a little perspective of where we came from and how it just keeps going up! ;)

 We finally made it all the way to the top!

There are a few different kinds of plumb blossoms, but these are the type we saw the most.

 The top left is the highest point of the park. Top right is a view from the top!

 Here is a picture of the George Washington, it is a little hard to see.

 The top of the park, people are out having picnics and enjoying the 70 degree weather and warm breeze.

 Beau is trying to eat the bamboo, he thinks he is a panda.

 Time to go home!

 On our way home we walked through a tunnel, it was really loud.
The day was wonderful and beautiful. It is practically summer here and time for us to get some summer clothes!
