The Huntington Library


Earlier today, my mother and I spent some time wandering the Huntington gardens.  The last time we were there was for my belated birthday.  The Los Angeles heat got the best of us, so we didn't stay long.  Next time I'm there, I want to lay in the grass, underneath a shady willow tree.

Huntington Library




 Yesterday, my mom took me to the Huntington Library, to celebrate my belated birthday.  We reminisced about the times she took me there when I was little. She talked about how I use to roll down the grassy hills and sit on sea horse statues. It was great spending time with her.  We discovered that the best smelling rose (in our humble opinion) is called the Queen Mary II.  We also sat and gazed up at Blue Boy, and Pinkie.  The beauty of those paintings are unreal, and it was fun to learn the stories behind them.

Speaking of the Queen Mary, my boyfriend and I are about to embark on an adventure of the nautical variety.  Stay tuned!!
