My view from the passenger window..

yesterday Jason, Lily and I went cruisin and thriftin around Suffolk, Portsmouth, and Norfolk. I got some great shots of the view out the window =)

possibly maybe..

This is the Fred Heuette Center located at 1000 Botetourt Gardens in Ghent. The center is so unique. It encompasses alot of what Jason and I love- plants, flowers, gardening... We love it. The center was built to commemorate all the hard work of Fred Heutte in beautifying Norfolk.

This park is a living memorial to his love of plants and the belief that man needs the beauty of nature in the midst of a hectic urban life. The Center's landscape design by Siska & Aurand aims to achieve the effect of an urban park in the manner of European parks with structured gardens and an arboretum. This design is in concert with Fred Heutte's philosophy that life in the city can be greatly enhanced by such urban landscapes.

I know it doesnt look like it now but come June the flowers,herbs, and trees are going to be absolutely breathtaking!!!! This is the fourth placed we have considered for the wedding and reception and have a week to make a final decision...

Noah really loves this place. Other than the fact that there is plenty of space to run, he likes all the cool flowers, fountains and pond as well.

This is the rear view looking into Botetourt Gardens.... One idea for great photo ops.

This is the second floor of the place. we are considering doing our vows up here. I love how its up in the air and when you look out of the windows(which are soooo cool), you see nothing but sky and trees!!!

The bagoda... will be lookin good by June and with some chinese lanterns..
