Last Day in Wales: Bodnant Garden

On our last day in Wales, we were in no great rush to get home, especially when the trip only took a few hours. So we thought we would go see one more attraction before we got back on the road. We decided to go to Bodnant Garden, which was on our way.

Bodnant Garden was originally started in the late 1800s, and passed through four generations of the Aberconway family. It was entrusted to the National Trust in the mid-1900s.

The garden was just spectacular! It was probably the best and biggest garden we have been to so far!

Here are a few favorite pictures:After a nice, long stroll through the garden, we had a light lunch, topped it off with some home-made Welsh ice-cream, and then it was back in the car. We were grateful for an uneventful drive back, and wonderful memories of our vacation.

Reminds me of Longwood Gardens a bit. Have you ever been there?

I loved seeing the kids being goofy together. I kept thinking how tall Tim looks!

beautiful...and colin definitly has his own look to him. Funny because so does Eli - almost like they know they're the third and have to make a 'name' for themselves!
