Good hello! How are you doing today? Extremely well, I hope. You know, I had a great time writing last week's post , and could think of no better idea for this week's post than to continue with my funny travel stories. Heaven knows they're endless.

So without further ado, let's talk about the  Arboretum   here at   Penn State !   Courtesy of Flickr, Creative Commons   Location :    Corner of Park Avenue and Bigler Road, University Park PA 16802 Hours :  The Arboretum is open every day from dawn until dusk. But really, you can go whenever you'd like. I've been there past midnight, for example. Admission : There is no admission charge for visiting the H.O. Smith Botanic Gardens or the Arboretum land beyond the gardens. Group Tours : The Arboretum offers guided group tours, which are perfect for outings with friends/family.
