Fall at the Arboretum

Well, it's been hot again this week, so not exactly fall like. But last week, my law partner's kids had a week off for Fall Break when we actually caught a break with the temps, and went to the Dallas Arboretum on a cool-ish day. Or as 5 year old Harper says...we went to the Arburrito.

There were some beautiful monarch butterflies around the plants

Harper loved running around this flower bed area...

For these 3 cute pics, there are like 8 more equally cute ones I'm not posting. I really like how they turned out, so it was worth battling the bee that thought I smelled really sweet.

These really made me want to plant some ornamental peppers.

Pumpkin Village!

Trying to kiss big brother!

I guess once a little sister figures out you hate kisses, she's going to try to do it all day long!

I feel like I'm missing out on so many Fall events this year, but I'm glad I got to go to the arboretum. I'm still bummed I missed out on the State Fair :-(

Europe 2024 {Day 10 ~ Munich, Germany}

On December 22nd, I departed Salzburg train station at 8:00 and arrived in Munich at 9:40. The station is under construction and a real mess! I finally made my way out and found it was really raining. I made my way to a taxi and took it to my hotel. My hotel room wasn't ready but they kept my bags for me and I headed out. I have been to Munich a couple of times and wanted to see a couple of things I haven't had a chance to do before. I planned to to go to the Nazi Documentation Center first since it was raining, but when I looked it up on my phone to double check the hours, I learned they had just closed for renovations. So rain or not, I was going to have to head out to Nymphemburg Palace. I took the tram out and then walked to the palace. I don't know why, but I didn't take many pictures on the inside. I also bought a ticket to the Royal Stables Museum which houses lots of coaches. I really found all the sleighs to be a sight to see, bu...
