Following up on my interest in her article on Miriam Johnson’s garden, Lori Basheda sent me another story about a special person, Hortense Miller, in Laguna Beach, CA. She started her garden in 1959 and you can take two hour guided tours by reservation for free. Hortense, who passed away at the age of 99, gave the land to the city in 1976.
Austin, Bella and Madison enjoyed looking at the birds, insects and squirrels at the Oregon Garden in Silverton, OR (This is well worth a visit as well – I gave it its own note!!), so maybe kids would do fine here if mom and dad, or grandma and grandpa, would point out creatures of interest while they enjoy looking at all the native plants in the gardens.

Grandpa Ron and I visited Seven Falls on our way to catch a plane out of Colorado Springs Airport one cold, blistery day. The guy who took our money warned us we weren’t going to get our money back if it was all frozen over. Luckily, it wasn’t! It had enough ice to make it magical. It was a great visit! Visit Seven Falls yourself virtually here.

Mono Lake in California is a very interesting lake to visit. There are unusual formations sticking out of the water. Here is a list of activities to do for free or little money around the lake. The Mono Lake Committee Gift Shop, located on Main Street in Lee Vining, CA, is full of really neat mementos, gifts, books and native American Indian items.”http://www.monolakecommittee.org/”>
