Fabyan Windmill Park—Even Snow Can’t Stop the Magic! ❄️🎐
🌸 Summer at Fabyan = Weddings, flowers, and pure charm! This historic estate-turned-park along the Fox River is a four-season stunner: Bike, hike, kayak, or fish with postcard views at every turn. Key spots: ✅ Fabyan Villa Museum (1907 Frank Lloyd Wright redesign + rare natural history collections) ✅ Japanese Tea Garden (serene & Instagrammable 🌸) ✅ Iconic Dutch Windmill (the park’s snowy crown jewel today!) ❄️ Winter Wonderland First-Timer Almost skipped due to the polar temps, but SO glad we braved it! Found: Kids sledding down windmill hills 🛷 Teens rolling giant snowballs ⛄️ The tea garden dusted in frost—hauntingly beautiful! And my snow-obsessed pup, Barley, gleefully ignoring my "No barehanded snowballs!" warnings. (Watching him play, I thought: "Thank goodness kids (and dogs) don’t always listen—where’s the fun in that?") 👩 Nostalgia Moment "Every nagging mom was once a snow-loving kid." 📍 Fabyan Forest Preserve 1925 S Batavia Ave, Geneva, IL 60134 #ChicagoWinter #SnowDayMagic #WindmillVibes #FamilyAdventures #MidwestWeekend #PetFriendly
