Fullerton Arboretum

Weather today was uncharacteristically warm for January. Believe it or not, temperature was as high as 82 degrees. We went to mass earlier than usual then proceeded to grab some dimsum in Anaheim. Afterwards, we took Gra'ma to the Fullerton Arboretum. I've lived in O.C. since 2002 but never been to this botanical garden. It is located just steps away from Cal State-Fullerton. This was founded by faculty members and students of then Orange State College back in the 70's and what is now known to be Cal State-Fullerton. Entrance to the garden is free but a $3.00 donation per person is recommended. It is refreshing to find places like this in the middle of the hustle and bustle of a big city.

A nice photo taken by Angel. She's good at making Rafael laugh or smile before hitting that shutter.
