Callaway Gardens

Kelly & I spent yesterday down in Pine Mountain at Callaway Gardens! Unfortunately, just about every weekend up until Kaitlynn arrives is booked with something: birthdays, baby showers, wedding shower, weddings, baby arrivals, visiting family, visiting friends, beach weekend with friends, spending time away for our anniversary!! You get the picture - we're quite busy and most of the time tired :) However, those of you who know me well - I am a planner and enjoy being with people!

Anyways - so we decided to take a day trip to Callaway Gardens yesterday to get away and spend some time together. It was absolutely gorgeous down there! Kelly & I walked several of the trails, went to the Butterfly Center where tons of butterflies were flying freely overhead. One actually landed on my head and matched my outfit! However, before Kelly could snap a picture, it flew away! We also went to a show - Birds of Prey. They had Hawks, Eagles, and Owls flying freely during the show. This show was outside - they were not strapped down or on a "leash." They would swarm over our heads - some people could even feel the animals fly over them! They would fly from pole to pole as instructed as the directors were telling us about them. Lastly, we enjoyed time in the Azeala Garden's and by the river/lake. It was absolutely gorgeous!

Kelly & I were exhausted after we left, but thoroughly enjoyed our time together at the Gardens. It's always nice to get away with him for even just a day and forget about reality sometimes :)
