We are within walking distance to a place called Ponce City Market and I see they have a breakfast restaurant called Pancake Social. It did not disappoint. Behold the custom tiled floor. Pancakes were a bit gluey but still good.
After exploring the market a bit we we attempted to take the bus to Fernbank. We failed and ended up calling an Uber because the bus never came. Fernbank is a Natural History Museum with some attached gardens called Wildwoods and Fernbank Forest.
First, dinosaurs!
Y’all, it’s hot out okay? I am pink and frizzy.
On to the other garden walks. This portion is a raised wooden walkway with some really lovely cathedral like structures. In some of these photos you can see stone walls. Those are part of the original land granted to the museum by the Harrison family. After the raised walkway , there are more paved paths and then you can walk through the rest of the old land on some rockier trails. I was not wearing the correct shoes. And I swear I took photos but… I don’t see them in my photo roll. I might actually have been too hot to take many photos.
We headed back into the museum to see the show about polar bears but first we stumbled on to my favorite natural history museum thing… dusty old dioramas. I swear, I just love them. I don’t know why. Again, where are all my pictures?!
This whole series of sequential dioramas of a dinosaur dying and being buried was epic.
A dusty ground squirrel and two raccoons harassing a turtle. Heh.
