Garfield Park Conservatory

A few weekends ago we went to the Garfield Park Conservatory.  It was kind of a gloomy Chicago day and we weren't sure if it was going to rain or not so decided to do something indoors.  Well, we are really glad we did.  This trip to the conservatory was by far one of the coolest things we've seen since coming to Chicago.  It was this huge oasis in the middle of a big city....so amazing!  The flowers and plants and trees were so beautiful.  There's just something so peaceful about being surrounded by living plants.  Oh and I forgot to mention the best part...it's free!  Both admission and parking, which is almost unheard of in this city.  We will definitely be going back!
