Beautiful Gaston County






Yes, I said beautiful Gaston County! Today Fletcher and I went to the Schiele Museum in Gastonia for the Fossil Fair where we saw an exhibit called TUSKS!, mined for gems, and looked for fossils. They have a great outdoor exhibit as well: the Backcountry Farm with a bull, pigs, and sheep. We then headed to Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden near Belmont. Absolutely beautiful! They just opened an Orchid Conservatory, the centerpiece of which is a stone wall with flowing water and covered with orchids. It was unbelievably beautiful. We then walked around the gardens. Fletcher's favorite part was running (many, many times) through an arching fountain. We had a great day in Gaston County.
