I took a day walk around the botanic gardens today and I absolutely loved it! The shade was perfect and the view of the Capitol was simply amazing. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a restful day in the shade. It is also a wonderful location where kids were also very happy to have their own space to play while we wandered around.

If you're in the area, the Botanical Gardens is a great place to visit! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable about plants, and they always have interesting exhibits to check out. They're also very well-maintained, so you can rest assured that you'll be happy with your visit whether your a plant lover or not there is quite a bit to see especially ranging from the different continents and climates.

Today was my first visit there for lunch. The servers were courteous, they greeted me and attended as I came into the restaurant .The menu was clearly described, and the staff provided some great recommendations. The cuisine was excellent. I selected the chicken chicken bowl and the freshly prepared chicken was well worth the little wait (took barely 3 minutes). For the price, the portions were exceptionally large. I chose the chicken option, and it was delicious!

This mall as something for just about everyone. Along with the regular stores one would expect from a mall, it also includes over 37 locations for food from full restaurants to a stop for treats. They also have a LA fitness gym and a target and Dave and busters connected.

Visiting this fort was on our to do list while up in Niagara Falls. After admission there is a museum that also includes a short film. Following the museum we went out into the grounds of the Fort. It’s a good walk and not all the paths are paved so wear proper attire. Every hour on the hour the “Soldiers” fire a musket rifle however, in our case the rifle didn’t go off even after 6 attempts. The “Soldiers” and “civilians” were doing re-enactments while walking through the buildings so it felt immersive.
The castle on site is gorgeous, the details inside were pretty amazing, from the stained windows to the stone work throughout are beautiful. The rooms and the chapel were very pretty. Once you finish your tour there is a gift shop on site where you can purchase trinkets, books and t-shirts. If you are a history lover I recommend you go check this great fort out.
