A few weekends ago, Josh
dragged me to had the wonderful suggestion that we go to the Palmengarten in Frankfurt. I am, by no stretch of the imagination, an outdoorsy person. I like climate control and I dislike bugs. To say that I was less than thrilled at the idea of spending the afternoon strolling gardens and becoming one with nature, would be an understatement. That being said, it was fantastic. The weather was perfect. I'm not sure I've
ever experienced weather that nice in Virginia. I would actually recommend a trip to these gardens to any nature enthusiast or just someone looking for a nice spot to read a book or tan. We even saw a wedding about to start amongst the expansive rose garden.
Things to do in within the gardens include:
- Take a paddle boat around the lake and feed the water fowl-they aren't shy
- Relax and enjoy a good book on one of the provided chairs in the large greenspace
- Let the kids hang out on one of the multiple playgrounds, or splash at the splash park
- Take a train ride around the park
- Enjoy lunch amongst the flora at the park's restaurant
- Walk through a tropical "jungle"
