Recently, a friend of mine and I adventured to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. I knew they had temporary display of origami sculptures that looked interesting. However, I’d never been there before and the idea of going somewhere to look at plants didn’t sound particularly thrilling.
I’m happy to admit, I was super wrong. It was a beautiful tranquil experience. The weather was beautiful. Everything was just gorgeous, it sort of felt like wandering around in a forest from a fairy tale.
