Day 338: Stop And Smell The Trees

Yet another day of going to the capitol building. Maybe its a signal to myself thats saying "Hey, your happy place is the capitol building!" But, today  I was happy when I got to take a tree tour of capitol park. I didn't fully understand everything that was being said to me, but it was really cool to stop and take a look at a place I ride by everyday. My tour guide was the superintendent of the arboretum at UC Davis. He should us and told us all kinds of interesting things like a bunch of trees that were shipped here as seedlings from civil war battle fields a year after the civil war ended! There are trees from all over the world here and there so much more that he didn't show us. I'm thinking of going again this weekend to check it out myself.
