The Morton Arboretum

If you are in the area of Lisle, Illinois or can make yourself in that area, I would suggest taking a trip to the Morton Arboretum. It is a vast park where you can spend hours exploring the whole place - you will never see it all in one day - or you can spend hours investigating a small area. My daughter, mother, and myself went to see the Trolls. They are very large, as you can see in some of my pictures, and made out of different kinds of wood with different cuts. Each one has a cute story that goes with each situation and they are spaced throughout the park so you will get to see much of it through your searching. They decorate for the holidays so if you would like to take a drive through a wooded area that has lights up, I would also suggest going here. When you walk around, there are plaques near some of the plant life so you can learn its name and some facts about them. We probably spent half the time walking and half the time driving. Go slow and enjoy your time away from technology - I know we did!
