I can’t believe that I have lived in LA for a total of six years and only made it to The Arbortum for the first time this past weekend. I was mind-bogglingly gorgeous, HUGE and, well there were peacocks–like all over the place–and you know how I feel about Peacocks. (…and if you don’t this should give you an idea.) All in all, it’s kind of like Disneyland without all the bullshit. I totally recommend going there on a date or with your family (the kids I saw were having tons of fun).
I was there for an Exotic Plant and Fern show, and I have about 40,000 more photos to show you, thus the two part-post, so stay tuned for more Arboretum Jungalove coming soon.
FYI : I recently changed my blogging schedule to end-of-day as opposed to start-of-day so that I have time in the morning to bike to work…so if the posts get a little bananas around here for a while– you can attribute that to me writing this in the wee hours after 9 hours at Woolly Pocket and anther 3-4 with my other clients ;-) OK. bed time for me now y’all.
See you tomorrow night!!
Disneyland without all the bullshit. Ha! That cracked me up!
P.S. Don’t work too hard over there! Feet up and enjoy that jungalow of yours!
