Stop and Smell the Roses at the Cummer Museum

If you’ve never experienced the gardens at the Cummer Museum of Arts and Gardens, then you haven’t really experienced Jacksonville. We’ve been there many times but it never fails to be awe-inspiring.  I could live in those gardens and be a happy girl.

We had an awesome, busy homeschooling day today. Academic time, drama club, library time, art projects, and life skills (aka: chores!) kept us on our feet most of the day. The hubby was working late today, so the kids and I figured it would be great to hit up the Cummer Museum for an art class. Unfortunately, it turned out that art class was cancelled for an event. No worry. We spend a great evening in the gardens with our awesome neighbor and her baby Evie. The kids did art in the gardens and enjoyed exploring. I loved chatting with a great friend and hanging out in the gardens.

If you’ve never been, the Cummer Museum of Arts and Gardens in Riverside has an Italian Renaissance and a Traditional English garden. Sigh. It’s heavenly. Here are some new pictures of one of my favorite places in the world. All I need is a glass of tea, a good novel, and I would be in heaven. Seriously… I think this is what heaven looks like.
