2019 May 15, Day Trip Decatur's Historic & Parks Gardens 💐 🌷

Hubby and I had a great day. I was unsure if we were going anywhere because by 10 A.M., it looked like rain, but we decided to go anyway. 
We rode to Decatur, stopping at Old Bank Park, Where We took pictures of the Garden.

Next, we rode to Frazier Park. (Never been to this park) I was surprised at how beautiful and serene it was. It had blooming Hydrangeas, and Magnolia trees were in bloom, along with other shrubs, trees, and flowers, by a running stream with a cross-bridge.

We rode over to Albany to Delano Rose Walk and the Children's Riverwild Playground, splash pad, and Garden. We took the grandkids to the park to play when they were small. The River Wild Garden Walkway was new to us.

Delano Park Rose Garden
We loved the Frogs, Toads, Beavers, Fireflies, Turtles, butterflies, signs, and statues throughout the Garden. By the time we reached the Rose Garden, it had begun to sprinkle. A landscaper working in the Garden, I said A little rain cannot hurt but he said I cannot get my work done in the rain. I kept on taking pictures, but the rain got harder. I looked around, and the gardener had disappeared; he had gone back to his truck to keep from getting wet. I started back to the car, and the rain began to come down hard, but I made it to the car before I got too wet. We drove to Huntsville to get our car's oil changed. By the time they finished, the sun had come out, so we rode back to Decatur so I could finish taking pictures.

We were getting hungry, and since we had stopped at the Shell Gas Station, which sells hot food, we bought some corn fritters for lunch. Hubby had been wanting some. We also stopped at McDonald's for hot apple pie.
We ended up eating at Jack's on Hwy 31 because we couldn't decide where to stop in Decatur. But that was okay because we both liked Jack's
