A Day at the LA Arboretum

We’ve taken the quarantine very seriously. First we had a baby on the way and now we have a newborn to worry about, so we’re not willing to take any chances. With the exceptions of doctor’s appointments, trips to the grocery store, and a five day stay at the hospital, we’ve only left the house to walk our dachshund around the neighborhood. It’s not the most thrilling way to live, but we’re fine with this because it’s what we need to do to keep our family safe. However, after five months of quarantine, we desperately needed a change of scenery. Enter the Los Angeles Arboretum.

The Arboretum has a limited number of tickets available every day for timed entry. It was the perfect social distancing activity to get us out of the house, even if face masks don’t complement the photogenic flora.

With the exception of the pediatrician’s office, this was P.B.’s first outing. He was mostly content to ride around in his stroller and pose for the occasional photo.

Mostly content.

Perhaps babies don’t like being roused from their naps to stop and smell the roses.

Either way, we can’t wait to take P.B. for more strolls through all the gardens Los Angeles’ has to offer.
