a beautiful day to spend in the garden...

Yesterday we went to the Huntington Library and Gardens in Pasadena. A friend of mine alerted me to the free day that they offer and as luck would have it, I was able to get tickets. All five of us went, Robert went into work after our little field trip. We met a group of friends there. If you live in so. Cal., the Huntington is a place you need to visit. The gardens are spectacular, truly. Not to mention the world famous artwork collection they have too. As we were driving out there, I noticed that the hills were still covered in a foggy haze and I hoped that we would be warm enough. It was actually hot. We all were hot and cranky after our trip. We didn't stay as long as I wanted too and missed a lot of the gardens. Why you ask? Miss Cranky Pants was the reason. Audrey was just not having any of it. She loved, loved, loved the water fountains in the children's garden but that's about it. She lasted a little while in the stroller then had to get out and walk and lasted about an hour doing that. It would be fine if only she held my hand. She just doesn't want to do that now and she melted down shortly after. So, the good news is our visit was free. The even better news is that Robert bought a family pass so we can go back anytime and not feel rushed.
Here are some pictures from our all too quick visit. The last photo is of Robert's desk at work. I am so happy he took it, he really is married to a scrap-booker.
