I had visited the inside on a field trip for a natural science class, about this time a year ago. But I hadn't seen the exterior gardens since I was a little girl, and had very sacred memories of the place.
Where: 3330 Atwood Avenue
What: Botanical Gardens. Tropical on the inside, secret-garden ish on the outside.
Note: FREE on Wednesdays! All other days bring a dollar.

| There were lots of little kids when we went on Wednesday Freeday. Most of them there to see the model train in action. In twenty years, they'll be having flashbacks too. |

| If you stand in the middle of the path and point your camera straight up, you can get this shot too. All you need is 10 seconds of rudeness in you. |
