Day 2: Flowers and a Big Peacock

---

We woke up and went downstairs for breakfast. We had eggs, sausage, waffles, biscuits, coffee, and oj. With our fuel for the day, we were ready to head to Garvan Woodland Gardens, a beautiful botanical garden that was full in bloom for spring. There were many types of gorgeous flowers, such as tulips and roses. But the main attraction was a showy peacock who strutted his way across the grounds. He was waiting for anyone to feed him and he kept wandering until he found his next meal. He came around us while we were eating lunch at the Chipmunk Cafe, and it was a great photo op. We got our pics and ate our wonderful lunch. After that we went back to the hotel for a quick swim in the heated pool. After the swim, we went in hunt of the beautiful geologic road cut we saw on our way to CVS earlier. We found it off of US HWY 270/70 exit 2. It was mainly shale. After getting a few pics we ate at Cracker Barrel for dinner and turned in for the night.
