Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden

Next to the bonsai museum was a rhododendron garden. This garden had an $8 entrance fee. I debated about paying this fee but I finally gave in because I wasn't sure what else I could do in the short time I had before the forecasted snow was to fall. The garden itself was pretty but I normally wouldn't have paid $8 to see this. There weren't any other paying guests when I was there. But, I had some awesome photo opportunities in this garden as there were unmelted icicles on some of the plants.

After the gardens, I booked an uber to take me the short distance back to my hotel because there weren't sidewalks for much of the walk over, and I didn't want to deal with walking on icy roads. Besides, it was almost 2pm.

Back at the strip mall, I ate a soul warming soon dubu lunch at a Korean restaurant. Not long after, the snow started falling. Jeff texted me from the pool all excited about having a snowball fight and making snow angels. I had to burst his bubble by telling him that the snow wasn't going to stick.

Late that afternoon, I braved the snow for about 45 minutes to catch some rare Pokemon that spawn in snowy weather, ate some chowder, and then stayed warm in the hotel room.
