    Huntington Library & Botanical Gardens

    Today, I’m sharing a photo diary of my trip to the Huntington Library & Botanical Gardens a few weeks ago. If you’ve never been, this is one of the best kept secrets in the L.A. area. Although I’m pretty familiar with it because it’s located in San Marino, just one city over from my hometown of Pasadena, it has yet to be discovered by the mass of tourists. You can say that’s a good thing, but it’s also just a shame that so many people miss out on visiting this beautiful location. I hope the next few photos inspire you to visit.

    My best friend Laura came to visit two weekends ago and she, my other bestie Kelsey and I spent it doing fun Portland things. We didn’t have a set plan for the weekend, so we mostly played it be ear. However, the one thing Laura requested that we do while she was in town was to go berry picking. So, on her first full day in town, we drove out to Columbia Farm U-Pick in Sauvie Island to pick some berries. Although it’s late in the season and some berries were no longer available, we were lucky enough to find plenty of blueberries and raspberries to pick.  I ended up with a box of berries and it only came out to around $8. That’s a deal in comparison to store bought berries if you ask me!
    If you’ve never been berry picking, I think it’s a very fun summer activity and I would recommend that you try doing it at least once. It’s a fun way to pass the time and you get to take home plenty of delicious treats.
