This morning's trip to Huntsville was only about three hours and I wanted to avoid rush hour in Nashville so I took my time, enjoyed a really good hot breakfast at the hotel, and finished sorting through photos from the day before. I arrived at the Huntsville Botanical Gardens around noon and was surprised to see how empty the parking lot was. I was able to snag one of the spots in the shade that we usually get when we are the first ones to arrive for the day. And as I was entering many people were leaving so the place was really all mine to explore without interruption.
This day's theme seemed to be bees, butterflies, spiders, and other insects.

I only spent about an hour and 40 minutes at this garden but I think I was anxious to get home and knew this is a garden I will get back to again soon. The drive home from there was only about 1.5 hours.
My total trip was a little over 1,600 miles. I visited four major botanical gardens in six days and had a great visit with my family so it really all was quite a success and so much fun!
