Headed South to Find Spring

A couple weeks ago we headed to St. Louis to visit our daughter's family and to experience some warm, Spring-like weather.  While we were there we  visited one of my favorite places--The Missouri Botanical Gardens.

Holding Hands on the Way.


We're here!


Some of my family.

Looks like it was a precious time with family!
