hodges gardens state park

during spring break we spent a few days at hodges state park in louisiana. we stayed in double cabins with my sister and her family. even though it rained almost the entire time we were there, we still had a great time!

the cabins were up on a hill with a balcony overlooking the lake.

the gardens were gorgeous! i can only imagine how much more beautiful they will be in another month when more of the flowers and trees are blooming.

this is such a beautiful state park! we really hope to go back again sometime.
