we just got out of the library
Huntington Library where it's kind of
known for here and it was amazing in
there we were in there for an hour and a
half hi We're Kristen can you of travel
pockets we're sisters who are half
American and half Japanese and we love
to travel the world in style we grew up
as military brats so were used to moving
from place to place that's why we love
traveling so much we post videos weekly
and would love for you to subscribe to
our Channel on all of our adventures
[Music]
we are at the Huntington gardens today
in Pasadena and I have been here once
before not knowing what it was and
didn't realize how she is this place is
so I never even got to explore all of it
so when crystal was in town I was like
we've got to go back and explore more of
this garden because there was just more
than the gardens here yeah I know and I
looked up a line a little bit and it is
pretty humongous there's so much to
check out here there's museums gardens
library library cafe restaurants they
have afternoon tea here as well you
gotta make reservations for but we're
not going to do that today we're just
gonna explore the grounds and we're
starting off with these two teas and
coffee at the most a red car cafe which
they open up before in the gardens open
so if you want to come here the gardens
open at 10:00 in the museum but the cafe
open second so if you want to get here
early and chill before the gardens open
it's definitely a good idea I call this
really nice weather especially today
yeah it's or it is today and you can
also snag a good parking spot if you
come early which parking is free here
which is awesome like musically you have
to pay for museums free gear also for
admission today it's a weekend and
holiday so it was $29 but if you come on
weekdays at 25 yeah I think so yeah it's
a little bit cheaper on the weekday and
that's when I came I came during the
week and actually made a reservation to
go to the tea the afternoon tea in the
Rose Garden not knowing that I also had
to pay admission to get in on top of
paying for the tea so just be aware that
if you want to come here just for the
tea you still have to pay the admissions
be any ended up working out because then
I have discovered this whole new garden
[Music]
we just learned that these are the
original so the fairytales between 13.3
and 1400 look how well preserved it it
really amazing stuff here
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
that's really kind of like pinpoint like
where two layers of ice please event it
was really concerned about what is that
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
just in case you didn't know how
scholars work they demonstrate for you
you know they did it at this table I
take them time to oh she might pass on
that one because earlier the lady was
talking about back then that it is
actually paper these parchment or vellum
so this is how calfskin parchment feels
it's pretty tough you feel the very
horrible almost feels he's very smooth
goatskin parchment though all right
that feels super tough I can see why
those what's the preserve really long no
we just got out of the library
Huntington Library where it's kind of
known for a year and it was amazing in
there we've heard there for an hour and
a half and we were thinking we're only
spend maybe 30 minutes yeah yeah I don't
know why I downplayed it so much because
the actual this whole place is called
the Huntington so I should have known
that the library was gonna be facing up
again but I just didn't yeah I was
pretty amazed at the artifacts that they
have it yeah his collection was amazing
artifacts at a book yet the collection
yeah cookies know her all his
collections and he collected things like
you know from manuscripts an app yeah
like letters like actual letters that
Lincoln wrote no the books from England
yeah so it dates back to like the 13th
14th century and you know and then it
goes on to like the 1900s and he
collects everything from London's
history to Spain was in there there was
also a lot of history on California and
like Yosemite when it first started and
when it first got preserved a lot of
scholars till the states do do still
come here it's a lot of rare books are
are here nor housed here so so yeah that
was a very interest it's it's not huge
but it takes you a long time because II
go through every each section is very
interesting like this ladies mm-hmm
looks like a goddess album better
doesn't even seem like this from that
time
[Music]
so this is the guy although his wife was
very much into art collecting and I
think from what her in the description
she's the one who kind of started it
there she is
here's very unapproachable
[Music]
now these apple trees pomegranate oh wow
[Music]
which is right which is located right
next to the patio the European army an
army of them which is also the home of
the Huntington's it was a winter mm-hmm
we didn't realize that until we asked
someone in there and it's a huge place
and I bought this is a winter home yeah
[Music]
this is it yep 19:19 cafe
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
I really like salt the right amount of
song
[Music]
like every every quarter and has
something to look I know yeah I just
like keep going yeah there's something
and every every step you take here yeah
[Music]
[Applause]
and we still have not completed this
yeah we've only been to Gardens like a
jungle yeah so wear comfortable shoes
uh-huh yeah for Kenya I have like really
flat shoes I with no cushioning and it's
really starting to get to me no - so
make sure to wear good shoes
[Music]
I'm into another garden this is the Rose
Garden but I still have full bloom yeah
I don't know when Rose blooms season is
actually either I have to look it up
know when it comes to flowers but I know
the website it's like tells you what
what's blooming and what season so if
you live in the area it's great but if
you're visiting you kind of have no
choice so yeah there's a lot of
different roses
[Music]
hi we have made it to the desert garden
I do love cacti thank you I never liked
it like I never really not liked it but
I never really thought much of it until
I moved to California and not everyone
started decorate like Ceylon decorations
with cacti in the living room and stuff
nice you know I say a lot of um yards
[Music]
