Gilroy Gardens

For Holly's birthday, we went to Gilroy Gardens and it was so much fun! The park is completely family oriented. All the rides are for kids, there's live entertainment, lots of shade, beautiful gardens everywhere with tons of plant variety, and I didn't feel bombarded by merchandise. The environment was much more laid back than other amusement parks I've been to. I'm so glad we went! I can't wait for our next trip there. 

Going mid-week was a huge plus as the park was quiet. We spent over 4.5 hours there, which is kind of a big deal because Greta still naps. Having Conor with me made the day so much better and easier to navigate. We had a hard time leaving because we wanted to keep riding and playing. I really think that Holly's birthday was a success. I think we made it special.
