This week my 5 will be from the beautiful Duke Gardens!
1)
Last Saturday we took a little day trip down to Raleigh....some of you might remember we have found a taco shop there that makes Southern California Mexican food, which we miss. We left San Diego in 2001 and the Mexican food is what we miss most...it just isn't duplicated anywhere else.....nobody understands our plight...except for other transplanted Southern Californians.
2)
We had our lunch in Raleigh then back tracked to Durham and visited Duke University. Here we are at the Sarah P. Duke Gardens.
3)
I remember Tulips being my grandma's favorite.
4)
But honestly, I think of Camellias more when I think of my Grandma. She had several beautiful Camellia bushes...she also grew Tulips in her garden but the Camellias really stick out in my memory.
5)
I want to plant a whole bunch of Tulips here at our new house along the front porch in memory of my Grandma...maybe even a few Camellias in the backyard.

Your's truly and my husband Nick...tomorrow we will have been together for 34 years...that's when we started dating...in 10th grade! Crazy!
