The Huntington Library

On Saturday we went out for the day to the Huntington Library.  The weather couldn't have been better, well Jamie was a bit hot but I was loving the sun.  The Huntington Library is now a botanical garden, library and museum.  The grounds are really impressive with different types of gardens and the museum has some amazing American art and furniture.

Here is the desert garden, some really unusual plants and some beautiful flowers!

Lot's of Cacti :)
This one could have come right out of a cartoon, lol!

This was from the bonsai garden and also looks like its out of an old Disney cartoon.

The Japanese tea garden was closed for renovation but we were able to peek in and see what it looked like from a distance.


Love this Frank Lloyd Wright dinning table, so awesome!


Did I mention I loved the sun that day!


The next two are taken from the Chinese Gardens.  They were really beautiful and peaceful.
Can you think of anything better to do than wonder around here on a beautiful spring day.  It was a really impressive museum and it was nice to have the variety and option to wonder the gardens, the art collection or see the house.  We spent a good four hours there and we still didn't see everything.  I think another trip out there is definitely a must.  I'm so happy spring is here and summer is not that far!
