Exploring: Curtis Arboretum

Just a few miles away from our apartment is the Curtis Arboretum.  We have been trying to explore public places in our new area so with this weekend's beautiful weather we decided to visit. Now I wasn't sure why it is called an arboretum and not a park so i looked it up (yay Wiki) and all arboretum means is a collection of trees. So yes, there were many trees on the grounds but i would probably just call this place a local park. The property used to belong to the weathly Philadelphia Curtis family and they built on the grounds a hall for musical performances as well as a little church. Today you can rent the hall for a small wedding or similar event. Here are some phone pictures from our walk as well as a little video.

While we were at the arboretum's pond we met this gentleman. This particular video is from a different day but was filmed at the same spot as we were. Bear with the shakiness at the beginning, it gets better.

This video is an example of why I always talk with strangers while out in public. You never know who you might meet or what the do for fun. We got his business card so we could look us his YouTube channel. This is also why Luke never talks with strangers.

I hope that you had a restful weekend and are ready for whatever this week may hold for you. Much love,

Naomi
