Yesterday was spent being completely girly and whimsical. We decided to surprise a friend on her birthday, so we took her to the Huntington Library. The Huntington Library is a botanical garden. It's an enormous place.
We had 5 different kind of sandwiches, salads, fruit, dessert, and tea for lunch. It was like we were in a Jane Austen novel. It was a really romantic setting, and it was a great day for a tea party. The weather was nice and warm.
There is just something about sipping tea on a nice hot day, and staring out into the rose garden.
We then spent the day hiking around. There was a Japanese garden, a Chinese garden, an Australian garden, a lily pond, a cactus garden (where a prickly cactus decided to poke my leg.), and even a green house. There was just so much to see that by the end of the day, I was completely worn out. I could barely take another step.
It was nice to get away and do something that wasn't typical of my daily life. I love gardens and spending time with the girls. :)
