Dallas Arboretum, Part 2 of Trip

The day after Thanksgiving we spent the morning shopping.  Then we drove to the Dallas Arboretum and enjoyed a few hours walking around acres and acres of land viewing fall decorations as well as beautiful trees, plants, bushes, and flowers.  We had beautiful weather, and it was a great way to unwind after hours of Christmas shopping on Black Friday.

White pumpkins are cool!

Gorgeous arch,
happy couple!

Even though the signs all said not to
climb on anything, Ryan insisted on
breaking all the rules!

We saw people riding bicycles, jogging, sailing and
just generally enjoying nature while we were at
the arboretum.

There were creeks, lakes, and fountains
at the arboretum.

At the end of this scene in the far background
 there was an infinity pool.

It's all about Texas and its history at the arboretum.

We loved the Arboretum when we were there too. It is just such a beautiful setting. It's so nice to see Melanie looking so happy. Looks like a wonderful trip.
