A Beauty in Alabama

The 65 acre gardens of Bellingrath Gardens and Home boast a bloom every day of the year. With the self-guided walking tour,you will envy the 2004 Top Public Rose Garden in US, as awarded by the All American Rose Selections. There are many themed gardens and my favorite of them all is the Mirror Lake Garden which is so alluring and romantic. They have hanging flowers all over the bridge which will make you feel like a princess as you walk by. I didn’t got the chance to step inside the Bellingrath Home but from what they said, it has a great collection of antique furnitures, silver, china, crystal and cut glass. Visitors can also enjoy the surrounding estates and wildlife by the Southern Belle Cruises.
At this time of the year, the Bellingrath will host a Magic Christmas in Lights. The entire land will transform into a winter wonderland with giant swan lakes, charming toy soldiers and millions of twinkling holiday lights. Everyone is welcome.

A special thanks to my travel buddies daddy and Aldwin who made this trip aspiring and memorable. I don’t care about the long distance drive or the oil/gas hike but this place is great to visit and deserves a second one. I hope to be back there again next season.
