Drying Out in California

It's been too long since we've felt 80 degree temperatures. We're enjoying our vacation, seeing friends and sunshine in Southern California. Yesterday, Ryan and I went to the Huntington Library which has 110 acres of different gardens such as Japanese, classical Chinese, subtropical, rose (currently not in bloom), cactus, etc. Of course, I've taken lots of pictures. Here are some of our favorites so far.

In the Japanese garden

So many kinds of cacti!

Check out the spikes on that tree!! I loved the way the colorful leaves were 'stuck' under the rushing water.

This is Sebi (short for Sebastian). He's the 9-month-old son of our friends Monica and Ovi. There will probably be more pictures of him in future posts. We've been enjoying him and his parents.

These are just some random, artsy pictures.
