peonies are apparently the trendiest flower ever, but ann arbor was hipster enough to plant a huge peony garden in the arb back in the roaring 20's. apparently historic peonies were donated by the same guy who founded the company my dad has worked for since the 1980's so clearly me, doc upjohn, and these peonies are tight.
(all fun facts i just learned doing research on the garden for this blog post. see how educated you guys make me? also... by research i mean clicking this link.)
you guys cannot imagine the willpower it takes not to pick these things.

also, since we are trying to break out of our collegiate routine, we poked around the corners of the arb that back up to the beautiful neighborhoods in the area. we decided to gawk at houses and imagine my total and utter glee when we stumbled upon hogwarts. seriously, someone won the ultimate parenting award amiright?
and just for good measure here's some kitty pics in case you've been needing a bert fix. i usually require one every few hours.
