Botanic Garden

Saturday we went down to check out the Botanic Garden and the new outdoor National Garden which used to be an overgrown fenced-0ff lot next to the main building. It was really pretty, even though it was the middle of summer and not much was blooming. Plus, they have a Dale Chihuly glass sculpture on display which is worth checking out. The tourists next to us were convinced it had to be plastic. This guy does some amazing stuff with glass.

In the main building, Jake mostly marched through the pathways, oblivious to all the plant life around him. Until we got to the Children's Garden. They have little gardening tools and watering cans that the kids can use, and fountains that they can splash in. He took his tasks seriously, of course.
