Mike had been wanting to go to the Huntington Library ever since we got here. I wasn't entirely sure what the big deal was, but you know, I love a good library so I wasn't going to complain. Well, as it turns out, the Huntingtons were California Railroad kings who had more money then God and built this amazing compound full with gorgeous grounds and an Art museum that has some pretty amazing stuff, like the Blue Boy painting.
So anyway, they offer the public a free day every month, so long as you reserve your spot way in advance. ( I think Mike got us tickets for May, back in February). It was a really spectacular place and we barley saw any of it. The temperature got up to 98 degrees, and I was pretty close to melting, so hopefully the next time we go it will be in the dead of winter so I can be comfortable and not pass out from overheating.
Enjoy the pics, and here is a link to the library as well.
Also, I just realized there is no order to these pictures at all, oh well.
I love lizards

Keeping Sully from jumping the fence into the Zen garden was very un-zen for Jen.
The Zen Garden
Sully & the biggest Koi fish I have ever seen.
This house is not ostentatious at all.
I am staring off into space because I am literally melting in the 98 degree heat.

Sully was really impressed with this kid's hat
Sully kept saying "Oh No!" when he saw a statue missing limbs
