Pasadena City did a fanatic job of remodeling, landscaping this park.

Well, it's time to head home. I wish that I had a little more time today to take more pictures around this park. I'm sure the kids wouldn't mind coming back here to visit, play.

LAPBCo bricks found in Pasadena, California

These bricks were found in our backyard in the ground only a few inches from the surface.

I wonder if we will find anymore interesting things in our backyard from the past.

We found this interesting link about California bricks companies past to present.
