🌻 Dallas Arboretum: My Texas Happy Place 🎃

First came here in 2014 on a school field trip—mind blown. 🤯 Over the next three years, I dragged my teammates, parents, and classmates back countless times. Seasons changed, but the magic stayed. Fast-forward 10 years… and I’m back with my kid! 👶🏻 Time flies when you’re chasing pumpkin dreams. 🎠 🍂 Fall Vibes = Peak Cozy: The Pumpkin Village has EXPLODED since ’14! Giant pumpkin houses, corn mazes, hay bales, horse-drawn carriages… my kid went feral. 🤪 Good luck dragging them out. 💭 Retirement Dreams: I want to live next to this place. 🏡 Imagine strolling the gardens daily, working part-time as a “Garden Grandma” , gossiping with tourists about roses and life. Bliss. 🌹 Why I Love It: Seasonal Decor: Spring tulips 🌷, summer roses 🌹, fall pumpkins 🎃—always insta-worthy. Peace: Dallas chaos fades as you walk through the gates. 🧘 Nostalgia: My kid’s laughter = echoes of my own childhood here. #DallasArboretum #TexasGardens #PumpkinSeason #MomLife
