“These are the days of our lives.”

In March, we went to Huntington’s Rose Garden Tea Room and didn’t get a chance to walk around the entire park. This time around, I snagged us free admission that the park offers every month (sign up is first-come-first-serve every 1st of the month prior) and walked around in the blazing heat. Elaine enjoyed the desert garden, then opted to ride the stroller for the rest of walk. My tip would be: 1) Be sure to wear a hat and comfortable shoes, 2) Parasols are also good if you’re not pushing a stroller, 3) Create a scavenger hunt for the little ones or let them take pictures on a cheap and durable digital camera, 4) Rest in the indoor galleries (esp. if you want to escape the heat), 5) On warm days, bring swimsuits or waterproof clothing/shoes for kids who want to run around in the children’s garden.
