Yesterday we spent the day at the Huntington Museum and Gardens. Scott and I used to go here all the time when we were dating and when Zachary was just a baby. That was back when admission was free. We had not been in a long time. Zachary had an extra credit assignment for his social studies class to visit the Huntington so it was a great excuse to go.
Everyone's favorite part by far was the japanese gardens. Riley loved the ponds and waterfalls with tons of koi and ducks. While Zachary enjoyed the bonsai garden and the bamboo forest.
There was so much to see that we hardly even made it to half of the gardens. We did get to visit the Japanese gardens, Chinese gardens and the Conservatory which housed the rain forest, cloud gardens and a bog.
We also toured Henry and Arabella Huntington's home and library. The home is amazing, in fact the kids tired out before we saw every room. They got to see the Gutenburg bible among other things in the library. We will have to go back again soon, maybe in the spring, and see more of the gardens and the library.
