People are out walking, mommies are working out in the Stroller Strides class, families are taking pictures in the tulip garden and enjoying picnics near the rose garden.

Wordless Wednesday: Beach Fun
Last week, my family and I were on vacation in Mississippi. We had a wonderful time and Bruiser and Sparkles enjoyed themselves as well.
