Jerusalem Mill Village & Ladew Gardens

Today we visited Jerusalem Mill Village. On Sundays, they do demonstrations of blacksmithing, cooking, woodworking, and gunmaking. During special events they do colonial re-enactments, including vintage baseball games (too bad we missed that). Afterwards we went to Ladew Gardens, a topiary garden. I had been stoked about it all week. When we got there, the sun was shining and I was worried about it being way too hot to walk around. We walked in the gift shop to buy tickets and looked around a minute. By the time we got back outside there were huge dark clouds rolling in. We ran and took a few pictures before it started dumping on us. I was so bummed. What we got to see was gorgeous and there were swarms of butterflies all around.
