Strolling in the Park

I absolutely love Richmond Park. It isn't any wonder that it was the first major place I took Mom and Dad. We kind of got a late start this morning as we lingered over breakfast, bags got unpacked, and people got settled. We finally left the house and headed for the park in the afternoon. It began lightly raining just as we pulled in the parking lot, so we headed into Pembroke Lodge (above) for afternoon tea, coffee, and scones. When the mist subsided, we headed outside to admire the beautiful gardens, trees, and magnificent views in this part of the park. We then drove the entire loop of the park taking pictures of the deer along the way. I think they liked their first day here. Flowers, bunnies, birds and deer are always a crowdpleaser.

Tomorrow we are headed into the city for the first time. This will be a biggie...their first time ever on mass public transportation. I can't wait to show them everything!!!
