Mother's day celebration

Entrance to the Chinese pavilion

Yesterday we went to the US National Arboretum to celebrate Mother's Day, I forget why we had to postpone the celebration, but yesterday was the perfect day to walk the gardens.


Ayer fuimos al US National Arboretum para celebrar el día de las madres, no me acuerdo por qué tuvimos que posponer nuestra celebración, pero ayer fui un día perfecto para caminar los jardines.

 It is our tradition for mother's and father's day, rather than giving/receiving gifts, to pick something that we would like to do. I always pick an outing to a garden.

Es nuestra costumbre en ver de darnos regalos para el día de las madres o padres, escoger una actividad que nos gustaría hacer. Yo siempre escojo ir a un jardín.

 We have been at the arboretum many times but there's always something new to see as the exhibits change and depending on when you go something different is blooming.

Hemos estado en el arboretum muchas veces pero siempre hay algo nuevo que ver.
