Orchid Exhibit @ The Botantical Gardens

Yesterday, my college roommate Katie came into the city and we decided to enjoy our Sunny Sunday by going to the Orchid Exhibit at the Botanical Gardens. I found out about the exhibit through the Weekend Guide on Daily Candy and figured it would be something fun and different. It was about a 40 minute subway ride and then less than a mile walk (Note: don't wear wedges like we did) but once we got there it was gorgeous. There were thousands of different types of orchids within the exhibit and over 300 garden trees that were damaged by Hurricane Sandy. It was definitely a change of pace from the hustle and bustle of the city but it made for a cute Sunday afternoon
