Hot Springs Trip - August 16-19

We went to Hot Springs last week. We dug crystals out of the mine, went to Garvan Woodland gardens, I tasted wine for the first time, and just had a good ole time. Here's the pics :)

8-16-15: There was this great walking path behind our condo. It bordered a lake and was just really peaceful.

8-17-15: Garvan W-oodland Gardens

8-18-15: Dug this beautiful  quartz crystal out of the dirt at the crystal mines. We spent nearly 6 hours total digging for crystals. We ended up with lots of small and medium rocks and one HUGE basketball sized one. It was so fun. We looked like mud balls after we were done :)

8-19-15: We spent our day wondering around Hot Springs. We shopped some and then we went to the National Park. These rocks were pushed up at this angle by an ancient earthquake. They think that this earthquake is what causes the hot water to come to the surface, giving Hot Springs it's name.
