One of my most memorable vacation experiences was visiting the Gardens of the American Rose Center a few summers ago. The roses were in full bloom and I so loved walking the paths, stopping to smell their fragrances and admiring the unique beauty of all the varieties of roses. I will be visiting again this year and I cannot wait. It is a wonderful place to take the family and enjoy a peaceful and beautiful walk through the gardens.
I wanted to tell you about the gardens because I have lived in Louisiana most of my life yet I never knew about this rose garden until I passed the sign as I was traveling on my way to north Louisiana. It is truly something special to see and an opportunity that would be a shame to miss.
