This was our second trip to Shrewsbury, and it did not disappoint. It was absolutely beautiful outside. This time we headed to the opposite side of the city and spent the day in an area known as Quarry Park. The park is enormous and sits right next to the River Severn. We spent some time by the water playing at a local playground and fun fair. Desi liked watching the canal boas on the river.
There is a sort of secret garden in the middle of the park that was in full bloom. They even had a hidden trail that looked like something out of The Shire in the Hobbit. Sierra told me, "It looks like a place that a fairy would like to live." The only down side was that the flowers were so pretty that Sullivan wanted to stop and pick up every one. A clear no no for the garden and quite frowned upon by the locals.
The school holidays worked to our advantage because a local fun fair just happened to be there that weekend. The kids played forever in the inflatables.
Our last stop was a quaint little pub called the Armory Arms. There were lots of antique pictures on the wall, and I was obsessed with the bookshelves across multiple walls throughout the pub. Maybe someday, I'll get to come back and linger by the fire with a good book and a pint.
Oh and we couldn't forget the ice cream.
