Morris Arboretum

So the Mom's and I went on a little outing this past weekend. I let Boy off the hook this time because he was completely exhausted and I kind of felt bad for him. We went and checked out Morris Arboretum, which is a place that I have been dying to look at. I'm not sure when I decided that I really wanted to check it out but it has been on my mind for a long time.


It was absolutely beautiful! Breathtakingly beautiful. The picture below is what the view would be from the place we would stand to be married.



There are all different kinds of gardens throughout the 92 acres of land. I think the one below is the rose garden.


This is me standing in a random little pavilion type thing.


I don't even know what that thing below is. It looks kind of like a giant beehive and I thought it was pretty awesome looking.


This is the train set that Pat thought was really neat once I showed him the pictures.


Another one of the gardens. So pretty.


I've said it before, and I'll say it again, it was absolutely beautiful. I spent the past couple days swearing to myself that it was the place we are going to have the wedding but then the reality of things set in:

They can only hold up to 180 people, we have 200 on our list.
Even if we could get our list down to 180, we would be left with a tiny dance floor and frankly, I'm not ok with that.

These two things are complete deal breakers and I'm pretty disappointed about that. Bummer.

So the search continues.
