Day Twenty-Three - Year Two

Today we went to Lauritzen Gardens - this is where the train engine display is located.  It is a botanical garden, but it was HUGE!  We spent hours walking around, and they had gardens, ponds, trails, lots of cool stuff!


There was this model railroad display that was built entirely from wood with more bridges and tunnels than I could count!  It wound around a hillside and through the trees - the most extensive setup I have ever seen - gorgeous!  The trail through it was like a treehouse.



The Children's Garden had a sunflower field, and it was filled with goldfinches - Sam was thrilled to add this bird to his list!  After a few hours, we found ourselves at the entrance, and we walked up to see the train engines up close.  They were huge!



We had spotted a Bass Pro Shop just down the street, so we went there for lunch - had to check out their aquarium and compare fish!   :)

Back at the campground for the night - guess who had to visit the jumping pillow?!
