Yesterday was too nice to stay inside, so we decided to go to Cheekwood, which is a local botanical garden. It was originally built as the home of one of the family members of the Maxwell House coffee brand (maybe that's one of the reasons we enjoy it there). It's a beautiful estate and they have numerous gardens and lots of different exhibits throughout the year.
One of my favorite things is this stone. It's something I would bet a lot of people don't see, but it's there's, in the middle of one of the walkways.
There is a Japanese garden. Not much color, but there are some great garden accents.
There's also a train track through one of the gardens with two trains. One is Thomas, the other is the Southern Railroad.
They have all sorts of neat buildings and bridges all around.
We spent a couple of hours walking through the garden paths. It was a great way to spend a sunny Saturday afternoon.
