arboretum

We took today off to catch up and rest from the weekend, so after we picked Millie up from the kennel (she was out of control excited to see us) we walked around the University of Alabama's Arboretum for the first time. Lots of friends have recommended this as a great place to take a walk, I especially remember Katie telling us about it!

This place is gorgeous, I couldn't believe how pretty it was. Millie loved smelling and running around, while Justin loved talking about the trees, game paths and trying to get me to stop taking pictures. We didn't get to walk around much of the area because we needed to get home, so I could do fun stuff like grocery shopping.

Near the end of the walk, Justin spotted other dogs playing in the water. So being the adventurer he is (and me the EXACT opposite) he decided to get down to the lake and let Millie get in. Literally as soon as she got in the lake, she stopped listening to us and swam in the opposite direction...this should not have surprised me.  After about 5 minutes of us urging her to come back to the shore, she finally got tired and came back. She had the best afternoon and we can't wait to go back.
