Such a Gem

Posted on by Nichole S.

Governor’s Park is such a little gem in this beautiful city. Although, I happened to notice tonight that the sign may be misspelled. The expansive view lessens during the summer months when the trees are full and in bloom, but the park is extra beautiful. In the “off season” things aren’t so lush and pretty, but the view expands! So, either way it is a gorgeous spot to sit for a bit. Click on the post to see the view.
