National Arboretum

On the weekends, we look for new places to go around Canberra and the surrounding region.

This past weekend we went to the National Arboretum where they have an excellent playground, bonsais collection, cafe, and trails (plus, it's free!). We played around on the children's equipment, admired the bonsai trees (I don't really think it sank in for the girls' that the trees are supposed to be much bigger. They just thought they were "baby trees." I was very impressed though. Wow!). And played in the giant grassy amphitheatre. Several families were flying kites. And then lightening flashed, thunder rolled and we dashed inside to hide from the sudden deluge of rain. No walking on trails today. Back to the car and on home for some ice-cream.  A nice Saturday together.
