Kew Gardens

Dear Grace,

One of the places I've wanted to check out in London was Kew Gardens. As I've met random people and started chatting about the beautiful gardens, everyone always asks if I've been there. When we got back from our trip with the Nierengartens, we had a free Sunday, and decided to head that way. 

As soon as we hopped off the tube, we immediately started falling in love with that pocket of London. It felt like we had arrived at a completely different place and it was so quick and easy to get to. It had such a village feel with charming restaurants, pubs, and shops. The leaves had started changing colors at this point which made the ambiance even better. 

The size of the park itself surprised both your Daddy and me. We weren't expecting it to be as large as it was. It was a very kid friendly place, which you and I discovered even more when we went back with the Blossoms. The greenery, flowers, ponds, palace, Queen's garden and holly bushes were gorgeous. Inside the green house was very hot and humid, but really interesting. Over 20 setts were created for kids to explore and see how badgers live. After walking around in a couple circles, the Blossoms and we stumbled upon both an outside playground and an inside soft play area that reminded me of being on the set of Honey I Shrunk the Kids. The Treetop Walkway looks really fun and may be an excuse for us to go back. We didn't have time to do it all, and climbing the 100+ stairs didn't make the cut of things to be done while we were there both times. Enjoy! 

Love, Mummy and Daddy 

P.S. They even had peacocks!!!!!

What a cool building for a restaurant.

Peacocks make me happy! :) 

Their colors are GORGEOUS! 

Daddy and I had a great make out session standing on the bridge overlooking this pond...It was just one of those moments we want to remember forever! 

The following series of pictures of you was our attempt at showing off your new pearly whites. Since this day you have cut many more teeth, totaling 6 at this point!

Holly bushes were everywhere...not to mention the colorful Fall leaves!

The End.
