Scooting Around Shaw's Garden

Today Darlene, Lisa, Elaine and I  visited the Missouri Botanical Garden aka Shaw's Garden.  It was originally the gardens of Henry Shaw founded on the estate of his home in 1859.  Darlene and I rented scooters since it is a 79 acre garden with a lot of paths.  Elaine and Lisa walked faster than the slow scooters.  In the picture you can see Darlene leading the way on her scooter. 

There was climate controlled dome with tropical  trees and flowering  plants.
Elaine and I are at one of the rose gardens in this picture. 

The gardens are beautiful and we had good weather.  It was a very enjoyable day.

Great picture of you and Elaine. Looks like a lovely place to spend a day or three.
