The Conservatory Gardens are quiet this time of year:
Mary from "The Secret Garden" hasn't seen any Gates:
The North Woods are quiet too:
While on top of The Cliff you can visit the remnants of a War of 1812 Blockhouse (say hello the junkies!):
Unrelated: What's a good gift to get twin girls that are about to turn thirteen?
Even though it sounds like a cop-out, gift certificates are the way to go for most female teenagers. They get to shop, *and* they get to pick out exactly what they want.
Love the site - I check in every day.

Teenage twins: Something fattening. Whether they like it or not.
On the photos: Your photos of the gates are the best I've seen yet, and I'm seeing a lot of photos of these gates. Too many, in fact. Except, yours are nice. Reallll nice!
Last night's rainstorm was awesome too.

Thanks everybody! The teens to be love candy from Chinatown, although I'm not sure their mother appreciates it. Maybe candy and gift certificates will work.
