North Carolina Arboretum
Today Noelle, Sierra and I headed down to Asheville to check out the North Carolina Arboretum. The arboretum had originally been the focus of our trip down there, but after a delicious lunch at Mellow Mushroom we strolled around downtown a bit and ended up at Splashville an area of fountains for kids (and adults) to play in.

and the art work throughout the arboretum.
However, my favorite part was the bonsai garden.
We walked from the main parking area to an education center and then took a short hike back on the Natural Garden Trail.
Sierra was happy to go hiking. She walked a good bit of the way on her own, although Noelle and I did have to carry her a little bit.

Oh my, Sierra is so big. She was just a baby when I started following you on here. Looks like you are enjoying your time across the mighty river.
