The first day of our vacation, as we were driving to Dauphin Island, we saw a sign for Bellingrath Gardens. I had recently seen some pictures of a trip my family had taken there when I was a kid. We were only about half an hour from our destination, so I told Robert I wanted to see about going to the gardens one day during the week. We ended up making the trip on Thursday afternoon, after spending the morning in Mobile at the USS Alabama (pics of that in my next post). The kids were tired and it was rainy, so we almost decided not to go to the gardens, but it was something I really wanted to do. It was absolutely beautiful and I'm so glad we decided to stop.
Here's a picture of my mom, my sister and I at Bellingrath Gardens sometime in the 1970's:
This is one of my favorite pictures from the day; looks like a postcard, I think:
Yellow flowers are my favorite, so when we came upon this bridge covered in them, I had to have a picture. As I said before, it was rainy which kept the temperature bearable and also kept the crowds away. For the most part that was a good thing, but we never saw anyone to ask to take a picture of all five of us. I wish Robert could have been in this picture with us, but it's still one of my favorites:
