Old Westbury Gardens 2013

We got a free pass from the library again this weekend for a local attraction, which we now call Library Roulette. We let the free pass determine our Saturday. This weekend the library sent us off to Old Westbury Gardens. I have a few thoughts on the gardens. First, they're lovely! Second, early Spring is not the time to go since nothing is in bloom. It's priced a lot more reasonably than the LI Children's museum though, so we're likely to go back in late Spring or early Summer even if we don't score a pass again. In order to be more appealing in the off-season, OWG was hosting Dog Day, where everyone was invited to bring their dog. Anyway, there's not much else to say but I took a million pictures, so here's a big picture vomit. Enjoy!

One of my favorite hikes up here has an old cabin like that at the very top... it is so cool! And I love that your library does all that for free - totally jealous!
