A Visit to The Huntington Library

Very delayed…but I am finally getting around to sharing out day at The Huntington Library!

My sis had been here before and recommended it as a nice spot for all of us to go to explore, be in nature, take fun photos and stay safely socially distanced. I was hesitant at first because of the ticket price ($29 for adults!) but after some thought, Kyle and I realized that we have saved a lot of money this year not going anywhere - so it was justifiable! We were able to get out of the house and go somewhere new, and I can confidently say -it was worth the ticket price!!!

We entered the park right after they opened on the most beautiful Saturday! There was plenty of parking and after checking our temps and scanning our tickets, we were in.

It was fun to be there with my sister’s fam and the kids loved the wide open spaces to run around and explore in!

First stop: THE JUNGLE!!!!!! I LOVED this spot. It was like a tropical oasis. The lush greenery gave me major plant envy and I wanted every plant in my house.

We walked through the DESERT gardens and suddenly really felt like we were in the desert with the blazing heat and dry air! The cacti were really fascinating to look at and it really did feel like a trip to Arizona or Nevada.

One of the best spots in all the land - JAPANESE GARDENS!!!!!! This was one of the main reasons we came to The Huntington Library - we wanted to see the bamboo and the sakura and imagine we were in the motherland.

Next to the Japanese garden is the Chinese garden which has some of the coolest architecture i’ve ever seen.
