hello Mr. Huntington

Last week, the two loveliest girls in the world (Olive and Alexandra) and I finally had ourselves a little adventure, and we chose the dreamiest locale for it... the Huntington Gardens & Library in Pasadena, California. The gardens are so huge that even after spending nearly four hours there (well, minus one in the dreamiest gift shop), we still didn't cover all of the grounds (which only means we need to venture back sometime soon!). It was a beautiful January day, and I still can't think of a better way to have spent it than how I did: traipsing around rose gardens and through a great, palace-esque mansion decorated with Mr. Huntington's incredible art collection. We also had tea and pastries outside of the garden tea room, and spent the late afternoon wandering around old town Pasadena, thrift shopping and discovering tiny bakeries...
