The Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens - Pure Tranquility

An amazing fountain.

This past weekend while visiting friends, we went to Pasadena for the day and enjoyed the Huntington's Historic Gardens.  It was amazing to see the different styles of gardening.  We even got to go into a Rain Forest.

My son's favorite garden was the Children's Garden.  It was filled with interesting water features and fun activities.  It was a hot day, so the adults appreciated the misters, too.

My favorite garden was the Japanese Garden.  Even with a two and half year old, I felt such a deep sense of peace and serenity.  It was truly awe-inspiring.  Our souls crave the natural world and I know that I felt calmer after visiting the gardens.
