Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens

My sister, Z, and I visited the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens during Memorial Day weekend. I had been to the gardens before back in high school and the gardens are even more beautiful than I could ever remember. We were lucky enough to reserve a table at the Tea Room (located next to the English Rose Gardens) where we dined on delicious little cucumber sandwiches, fruit, scones, and yummy blackberry tea. We only got to visit a couple of the gardens: Dessert, English, Herb, Chinese, and Japanese...we will have to come back earlier but it just seemed like there was not enough time to fully explore the grounds since the closing time was at 4:30pm!

We rarely get photos together since I am always the one behind the camera!

Some of the names of the roses were hilarious. My favorite was the Rosie O' Donnell. 
Handsome boyfriend that never smiles. :/
The Chinese Gardens
The koi fish in this pong were huge! These fish could probably dine on Finnegan with no problem
The Japanese Gardens

Sisterly Love!
Sometimes Z's eyes are more squinty than mine. We should probably stop hanging out so often.
