Dh and I went today and it was spectacular! The weather was perfect, no bugs, beautiful flowers and the cherry trees are blooming. And there's free admission on Saturdays from 10-12! Then we picked up our wedding video; i'm waiting for DH to wake up so we can watch it
I havent been there since I was a kid! Looks beautiful-Im going to have tomake plans to go

How beautiful. DH as a couch potato today, wish I can get him to do things like that with me. I like being outside, allergies and all.

Your pictures are beautiful, thanks for sharing them!!! I have to get DH to drive into Brooklyn to go one of these days so we can go there and to the Brooklyn Museum, since I haven't been to either in years.

Re: Today at Brooklyn Botanical Garden
Beautiful pictures. This is my favorite season to visit Brooklyn Botanical Garden. We live 5 minutes walk away from there, and we try going early to avoid the crowd.

There is a children's garden there and a discovery garden, both of which i'm not sure are open yet but they are for kids; I'm sure they would totally love it, it was packed with kids today!

Thanks! I also wanted to go to the Museum but it was a bit much for dh as it was; we'd have to do it on another day, maybe a rainy one
