Huntington Gardens, Part 1

I absolutely love the Huntington Gardens, located in San Marino, about an hour away from us. With more than 120 acres of varying botanical gardens, and housing several works of art, this is a place you can spend a day or two in and not even come close to covering everything.


We first explored the North Vista Lawn. This simple photo of Sam reading a nearby plaque, with the large sculpture contrasting his size, is my favorite of the day.


Anna is always ready for a photo opportunity!


We then headed to the Children's Garden, which contains lots of interactive areas such as these little splash pools which had some of the kids drenched.


It's amazing how every plant display seems so well-maintained.


More exploring in the Children's Garden.


We headed over to the Conservatory for Botanical Science where the kids conducted some experiments.


Wish I caught the name of this flower, I may have to carry a little notebook with me to take some notes!
