The Gardens of The American Rose Center

On Saturday April 25th, Justin, Jacob and Myself drove over to Shreveport, LA to visit The Gardens of The American Rose Center.  It's a little over three hours to get to Shreveport.  It a gorgeous drive.  About fifty miles out of Dallas as you get into East Texas the terrain changes to rolling hills thickly forested in pine.  It's been six years since I've been to the gardens. Justin was a six week old baby the last time we went. The gardens cover 42 acres. They are set into different little gardens with a path that intersects them all. All this is set amongst the towering pines. It's quite lovely. The boys enjoyed the little play ground we found. It had a real see saw, something you just don't see anymore. We all had a lot of fun playing on that. It was pretty warm and the humidity is definitely higher in Louisiana, but we had a great time.
