Descanso Gardens

It was SUPER hot, but we were in the shade most of the time, so the gardens were really beautiful and enjoyable.  We rode the tram and got a cute little guided tour - Garrett and Brady just enjoyed riding the tram.  We saw the lilac garden, Boddy House, Japanese tea house, art gallery, groves of trees (mommy's favorite part was the pond covered with lilly pads) . . .

From the website:  Descanso Gardens is an urban retreat of year-round natural beauty, internationally renowned botanical collections and spectacular seasonal horticultural displays. In 1953, Descanso founder E. Manchester Boddy preserved these 160 acres of gardens, woodlands and chaparral for future generations to experience the natural heritage and beauty of Southern California. Accredited by the American Association of Museums, Descanso Gardens welcomes thousands of visitors annually, from local members to international travelers.













We capped it all off with a picnic lunch.  All in all very relaxing.
