Although we didn’t make it out of state, we thoroughly enjoyed our eighth anniversary festivities. : )

Since the weather on Saturday was PERFECT (77 Farenheit, puffy clouds, cool breeze), we headed to Chaska to visit the MN Landscape Arboretum for a few hours, after having dinner at Big Bowl in Minnetonka.

The Arboretum was FANTASTIC. Maintained by the University of MN, the variety of flowers, trees, and shrubbery was staggering – not to mention the beautiful landscaping arrangements.

After strolling the grounds for a few hours, we stopped in to visit my mom, who also lives in Chaska. She has rediscovered gardening this year, and it was great to see the profusion of flowers on her deck. : )

All in all – a great eighth anniversary! :D
