After work today, Liz wanted to have a bit of a surprise… and took me out for a quick ride. We parked near MSI, and walked over to Jackson Park, where the Cherry Blossoms were in bloom (after four years of deterred blooms).
With this being memorial day, we woke up pretty early, got some breakfast and coffee… and headed out to walk around a bit, before the crowds showed up.
One thing we haven’t done much of is visit nearby Jackson Park, located just south of the Museum of Science and Industry. For Liz, she’s been wanting to visit the Japanese garden in the park for a long while now. And after work, we decided that today would be the day.
On Saturday, with the weather taking a turn above the 40 mark… Liz pulled me away from my computer, and decided we needed to explore a little more. We drove out to Jackson Park, and found ourselves near Bobolink Meadow (located just south of the Museum of Science and Industry).
