Happy Chinese New Year!

I bet you didn't know that it passed. Don't worry, we had no idea when it was either. I stumbled upon it on Metro Parent, and thought it would be neat to go and see how their culture celebrates their New Year. It was downtown at the Chinese Gardens, which are just beautiful. They had lantern making, dancing exhibits, dragon parades, and storytelling (these were just a few things we went to, there were more!) We'd never been there before, so it was nice to explore and take some pictures of the scenery and what we saw. I post pictures a lot on the blog because sometimes words don't do justice to some of the things we do : )

It was actually pretty busy!
