Dallas Arboretum


At the beginning of March, Peter and I went to visit a place that had been recommended to us when we first moved here but we hadn't made it there yet - Dallas Arboretum. Every spring they have something called "Dallas Blooms" with thousands (maybe millions - who knows) of spring blooms - tulips, daffodils, etc. We were there a few days before the official start of Dallas Blooms but there were still tons of blooms out. The Arboretum is on the shore of White Rock Lake in Dallas and covers acres of ground. It was beautiful! It was so nice after the gloom of winter to be surrounded by flowers, some blossoming trees, and green grass and enjoy a little sun while looking out over the lake.

At one point I just laid in the grass (it was sooooo soft - - perfect grass, the type you just have to take your shoes off and walk around on) and rested. It was rejuvenating for me after how crappy I had been feeling all winter to be reminded that spring was coming and hopefully with that, I would feel better too!

I loved the Arboretum and only wish it wasn't 35 minutes away because I would go all the time!
