A Morning At The Conservatory

Dad and I met Gigi and Papa at The Garfield Park Conservatory last Sunday, where we took in a couple gospel tunes from a local congregation holding their Sunday morning service, before we wandered through the beautiful conservatory rooms.
The GPC recently celebrated it's 100th anniversary, making it one of the nation's oldest, largest and most beautiful conservatories in the country. I especially like the children's area with it's slide and giant bumble bee. Dad snapped the photo above by one of the ponds, which has fish and a few Chihuly sculptures leftover from his show a few years back. We ended our morning by looking at the rare Double Coconut Palm Tree and it's 50 lbs seed.
