Excuse me while I entertain my guests...

Hanging out in our PJ's

We have had a load of company since before Eliza was born. It has been so wonderful having so many people come out to see us and I’ve been out and about more in the last few days with some beautiful old friends (and by old, I don’t mean “old” – inside joke) than I have in months.

Buchart Gardens!
I went to Buchart Gardens, Beacon Hill park AND wondered all around downtown with two fabulous women for the last three days and I forgot my camera every time. It’s like I have only enough memory for a baby and a diaper bag. The camera has been shut out.

However, now my sister is here and I’ve been pulling out the camera more often. She captivates Eliza. The photo with this post is of my sister lulling Eliza to sleep with her beauty and a few hums of Hush Little Baby. Thuraya has a touch with these little humans.

I get glimpses of my sister when I look at Eliza. I can only hope Eliza takes on some of her qualities – but not the screaming part.

Puleese.
I love you, Thuraya, but you were a loud kid.

Is Buchart Gardens worth signing up for? We're going on a cruise and a few of the family signed up to see Buchart Gardens on the way back. I'm wondering what other sites are there in the little time we're there and if the Gardens would be worth the visit.

Nevadagirl - it depends on what you are interested in of course. It's pricey but I went with a landscape artist who was delighted. As someone who loves gardening, it was beautiful to me as well. If you are coming from a place with no greenery yet, you will be in for a treat.

However, I hesitate to completely recommend it because of the price. The work that has gone into these gardens are astounding though.
