The Huntington Library And Botanical Gardens

The gardens, galleries and library are amazing

Although it can be a bit more crowded and noisier than I would like, it’s a great place to go to feel like you’ve gotten away from the city.

They have a wonderful Tea cottage that serves High Tea with scones and jam and cucumber sandwiches. Great place for lunch or a snack.

For the geeks among us – to contrast the Roses and Art girl – they have a fantastic Japanese Garden, with lots of water, little bridges, Koi ponds.

This place stimulates the engineering mind as well as the artistic senses. You can both go!
