Hello everyone!
On Saturday Jamie and I wanted to get out and enjoy the nice air, as well as adventure to some new territory. Though we've been in the area for 3 years (wow, that long ago?) there's still much of New England and Boston we haven't seen, and one place in particular we've passed but never stopped to enjoy is Harvard University's Arnold Arboretum.
For those that don't know an arboretum is basically like a collection of trees/botanical garden in a park-like area. The arboretum was beautiful and though it's right off a highway, once you crawl up the little pathways into the hills of it all, the city noise vanishes.
It was a nice little stroll for free, and Jamie and I did see some interesting trees. Check out the pictures and find the tree that grew some sort of cotton like stuff:)!
Love,
Ally
PS- You'll also see some other pictures during our ride. In fact the second picture is of the O'Neil tunnel, where the slab of concrete fell and killed a lady. I'm sure you've all heard of Boston's "Big Dig". This is part of it.
