One of the best things I remember about growing up was that my parents were always taking us somewhere new each weekend. Ireland may not be very big, but there is something to see every 2 miles. In the 12 years I spent there, I got to see a lot of it. It felt like every weekend we were heading somewhere new, it was a new adventure every time. Those are some of my favorite memories, and now it was my turn to make some for Desmond.

Recently, Jackie and I have been getting more adventurous on getting out with Desmond. He is getting old enough now were he cares about what he see’s. I realized this the other morning when I caught him peeking out the front door window. He was standing on his tippy toes looking out the window at the water sprinklers as they soaked the front yard, he just kept saying….woaaaaw! He would look back at me, point, and again say woaaaw! So Jackie had the great idea of Callaway Gardens. We have been wanting to go for months. We kept putting it off, making excuses like, its too far, hes not old enough, it will be too exhausting. Well we almost did that again Friday, but we didn’t, and headed off Saturday morning.

We had an absolute blast, the weather was perfect, the flowers were blooming, and he just soaked it all up. It was woaaw this and wooaaw that with Desmond all day. He saw turtles and got to feed the fish, he even ate a little fish food himself, I was not surprised. We planned on doing bike rides, but did not. We will definitely plan on this next time, because we are for sure going back. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the day. Enjoy!
