I had 9am timed tickets to the Anderson Japanese Gardens in Rockford, IL and a three hour drive and so I started my day early. Fortunately, the hotel had already put out coffee and had a wrapped bagel I could grab even though breakfast wasn't quite open.
When I arrived at the garden and stepped out of my car, I couldn't believe the weather I was experiencing. It was 68*F with a dew point of 56*F! Between the gorgeous weather and the fact that the gardens were almost empty and so peaceful, I could have stayed hours!
