I spent a few hours at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens [View all]

Yesterday. It was absolutely beautiful. The orchid room nearly blew my brains. The huge Christmas wreath and Christmas tree were breathtaking as were the fall colors .
We lucked out as the lights were turned on while we were there. When we returned I asked BIL to line up In A Monastery Garden and told him thanks.
We had already visited two museums and MLKs neighborhood and eternal flame. We also went to Mary Mac’s Tea Room . Saw Jimmy Carter’s photo but sadly also saw Gingrich’s😀
I head home tonight. There is something lovable about Atlanta. I head home tonight
