An Afternoon at the Huntington Library

Bridget, Barbara, Mama and Janet went to the Huntington Library today (Saturday 11/6).  I had bought a membership through Groupon and it had to be used before Nov. 9th.  It was beautiful weather today - so off we went.  Bridget knew that Mama would love to go and we called Janet because Mary was at the races with Dad.  It has been a long time since I was at the Huntington.  But right away, the memories came flooding back on how I used to take you girls when you were little and you would run around the green lawns.  And you loved to go in the "big house" and see Pinky and Blue Boy.  We stayed mostly around the gardens today - and went to the new Chinese gardens.  I had never seen those before.  You can see the pictures below:


Mama likes to use the trolley for stability.



Janet and Bridget and a special friend.

The mountains were so clear, but we might have rain tonight.

Who are these two beauties?

When we were at the Chinese gardens, there was a cute gazebo and inside there was a Mom and 3 kids.  They were all sketching a duck that was in the pond.  So cute!!!  Bridget and I could see Maryann doing that someday!

A view of the bridge at the Chinese gardens.

Sketching a duck...we talked to them and the kids showed us their drawings.

Bridget and I on the bridge.  I guess that means "Bridge on the bridge".

Now that we have a membership, we will be visiting the Huntington a lot!  And both Bridget and I can take guests (when we go alone), so maybe we will take you sometime!!!
