Kubota Gardens!

Today we discovered the most absolute hidden gem in Seattle, Kubota Gardens. It is a Japanese style garden and every child's exploring dream. The garden was not only one of the most beautiful locations, it was filled with hidden paths, lavish hiking trails, and secret bridges around every corner. The kids were filled with wonder and excitement as they were able to jump rocks across creeks and cross stone bridges over small rushing creeks. I have to say I was filled with wonder myself and am hoping to spend many days there this summer fulfilling my childhood dreams as well. It is definitely a magical place.

Here are a few pictures I took to try to share the fun and beauty of our family outing.
