A visit to the Obama Center on July 4th weekend

As we approached the Obama Center our path shifted from a grid of city streets to swirling walkways that wove through the Women’s Garden.

Every inch of the gorgeous campus bathed me in peace and invited exploration, especially for my kids who find creativity and adventure in any nook and cranny!

At every turn, we discovered thoughtful spaces to explore.
Here, we refreshed at an interactive sculpture by Maya Lin.

The kids had some good barrel rolls down the great lawn.

And then it was on to the playground.

Oh the places you'll go...

At every turn there were new places to climb and explore!

On our way out we kept discovering new spots to enjoy!

What an incredible place. We’ll be back soon!
