This past weekend, Akie and I went up to Kennett Square, Pennsylvania to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. Our anniversary was actually the 25th of September, but we postponed our trip because it was raining that weekend. We were very happy we postponed, because we had gorgeous weather on Saturday to visit Longwood Gardens!
Pierre du Pont, the man who built Longwood, loved water and fountains. There are fountains all over the gardens, and they’re all just gorgeous.
The variety of flowers and plants is incredible!
The leaves were starting to turn, which added to the loveliness of the place.
The Conservatory was one of my favorite spots in the Gardens. They had so many different plants and flowers growing here.
They are getting ready for the Chrysanthemum festival the end of October, so we got to see some of the gorgeous flowers now.
One of the several walls of all different varieties of Orchids.
Some of the fountains in the kids area.
Akie liked playing in the fountains at the kids area. :)
We got someone to take a photo of us.
They have a water fountain show several times throughout the day. We were there for 2 of them, so we got a view from the front…
…and also from the back. :)
One last gorgeous view in the gardens!
The next day we went to the Brandywine River Museum, then took a walk along the creek. It was so nice having a weekend away to celebrate 1 year!
