The Cherry Blossoms At Branch Brook Park, NJ

 Branch Brook Park in Essex County, NJ 

 has the largest and most diverse collection of Cherry Blossom Trees in the United States.

The park is 360 acres and has more than 6,300 flowering cherry blossom trees in 18 varieties.

Although Washington D.C. is thought to be the Cherry Blossom capital of the world,

this park has more trees than the capital.

In the past, we have gone to Washington, DC to see the cherry blossoms there, although breathtaking,

it is very crowded and almost impossible to navigate.

Here the trees are in a larger area and much easier to photograph. and enjoy.

Now let's get to the good stuff, the pictures!

Here we are...at the end of another awesome day!

Longwood Gardens

 I have so much to share...so many exciting, fun moments and trips to write about.

We've been so busy, I need more time at home to write about our adventures.

Monday, we went to Longwood Gardens and had an amazing time, I don't think it could have been better.

The weather was perfect, the spring booms were colorful and vibrant, the displays were spectacular.

The tulip flowers were whimsical, different shapes and sizes, some with "lacy" edges.

The hyacinth filled the air with a delicate perfume scent.

Here we are...still smiling at the end of the day.

We ate and we shopped, 

I love the gift shop here and we took way too many pictures.

I have a lot more photographs, I may or may not share them...sometimes it's just too much.

If you are ever in the area, visit, to enjoy this amazing place!
