MacCallum Gardens

While in VA a few weeks ago, Stephen and I took a little road trip to a tiny city, called Chase City.  Ever heard of it?  It literally had maybe 3 stoplights and if you blinked, well you missed it.  This tiny, quaint town had such character and a beautiful garden nestled in a very nice historic neighborhood near town.  

Here are some pictures from our trip!
LOVE this house...only blocks away from the gardens.

Stephen by some steps.

They had a huge courtyard that was boxed off by this half wall and columns.

One of the alley ways.

They had some of strangest assortment of things.

SO NEAT. There were all different kinds of brick on this.

Loved this circular gate.
Stephen and I had fun walking around the gardens, and having the entire place to ourselves.  The only thing was it was about 100 degrees and I ended up with over 40 mosquito bites. YIKES.  Although I look like a happy camper in the pictures, you should have seen me when Stephen wasn't taking a picture. MISERABLE.

Have you explored a new area lately? Or what's your favorite spot to visit?
