Longwood Gardens


Yesterday, since it was my mom's and my day off work and it was my brother's first day of summer vacation, the three of us took a spontaneous trip to Longwood Gardens.  The entrance fee is pretty cheap, especially since my brother and I both got discounted tickets for being students, and we spent about five hours wandering through the gardens, the trails, and the conservatory.
I, of course, took plenty of photos.
This was the "Whispering Bench".  Because of the way it's built and some other things that I don't quite understand, a person sitting on one side of the bench can hear a person on the other clearly when they're only whispering.  Theoretically, as my brother put it, "it's a great tool for eves-dropping"!
 
Of course, these aren't nearly even half of the photos, but Blogger only lets me upload one photo at a time, so I just posted some of my favorites. :)
How has your week been, loves?  Anything exciting going on?

  7. Thank you, Rachel! Longwood Gardens is actually about an hour from where I live, but that's not too terribly far.
    I'm sure with a little bit of searching you can find someone too!
