One of the nice things about North Carolina is the plant life. There are so many different kinds of things that grow and thrive here...some grew in Cleveland, too, so it is a nice reminder of home while other plants are just new and pretty.
We have wanted to go to the Arboretum for quite a while and today, we did. It is tranquil, beautiful and a place to enjoy. Tony said that he was sure our blood pressure went down just from walking around. It offers a variety of plants, beautiful gardens and information.
We walked around various gardens and promised to come back with a picnic lunch.
From there, we went to the Holiday Inn in Wrightsville Beach, a favorite place because the restaurant there faces the ocean. We saw a kite surfer and lots of dogs on the beach. On this clean and crisp November day, it was 80 degrees and beautiful day to be out.
Enjoy our day...and of course, pictures of Dixie!!
