A Day at The Huntington

The Children's Garden at The Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens

A couple of weekends ago, we were feeling itchy and wanted to go somewhere. So Ian and I rounded up the kiddos and headed to The Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, a stone's throw from Pasadena.

We've been there a few times with CC, but it was Will's first time, and he loved it. They both loved the Children's Garden, with fountains, tunnels and a cool mister.

Will loved running across wide open grassy fields, and CC loved watched the Koi in the Japanese Garden.

I'd never been to the Chinese Gardens, and they're absolutely lovely.

When you get a chance, if you haven't been -- with or without the kids -- give yourself a peaceful treat.
