Saturday May 15, 2021. I joined a friend of mine in Los Angeles visiting Huntington Gardens.<\/p>\n

For this weekend in Los Angeles, I intended to visit a few friends that lived in the area. It happened that Huntington Gardens were on one of my friends\u2019 bucket list, so we decided to spend the day there.
\nIn times of COVID, almost all enclosed public spaces in and around Los Angeles enacted online reservations to limit crowd sizes. That combined with people\u2019s urge to head out over the weekends meant the other few places that my friends recommended, including Getty Villa and Museum, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, were all fully booked, so we were left with Huntington Gardens, which another of my friend described as \u201cthe place people hang out after dinner\u201d, which became fully booked too a few days after we snapped our tickets. <\/p>\n

So after grabbing my rental car at Los Angeles Airport and checking out of hotel room, I killed some time chatting with my friend before our tickets\u2019 timed entry. Huntington Gardens offered free parking, and its lot was pretty fully by the time we arrived.<\/p>\n
