With my job as a floral designer and McKay's biology background, we knew we'd have to make a stop at the
Singapore Botanic Gardens!
McKay loves orchids most, "because they are the most developed of all the flowers," so we started with them. 
I loved seeing all these plants with my little biologist as he told me all about the different characteristics of each plant and how they had evolved over time - He gets a little twinkle in his eye when he starts explaining these things to me.

Part of the botanic gardens is this enormous park filled with families and runners of all sorts.
Our favorite family to watch was this little one feeding the coy fish. They were so cute! (I told you that we like to people watch! We are kind of creepers, but I'm ok with that.)
The park was perfectly manicured wherever you looked, which is quite an amazing feat considering everything grows a million times faster and wilder in the hot, humid climate of Singapore. McKay and I wondered how they could possible make everything look so perfect. This man was the answer -
Dedication!
We noticed Mr. Monkey Man here cleaning up this tree, but then got a little woozy when we realized how high up he was!!!
Everything is kind of perfect in this picture! The smell of the flowers, the hum of the bees, the swan leisurely floating in the background...It really was like heaven on earth!
McKay enjoyed this root system...
...and he proceed to tell me all about it, but what he probably failed to realize was in that moment I fell in love with him just a little bit more.
