So Last weekend we went on vacation with the Lys to San Francisco. Kind of a spur of the moment thing. I hope to do a couple of entries here showing pictures we took on our trip.

We left on Thursday early morning, first stop was Gilroy to do some outlet shopping. Janet got a set of matching dresses for Sarah and Catherine which was cool. Went to look for a piggy bank for Sarah at the Sanrio store but didn't really find one that we liked. Tax was more expansive there so we didn't really go broke there.


Next we went to this Japanese Garden in San Jose. Never been there before and it was quite interesting. Saw lots of Koi in the pond which was pretty neat. They also had this dead end bridge that was rather strange
There were plenty of picture opportunities
But not every one likes to have their pictures taken
We spend the next 2 days in San Francisco. We were so hoping to visit the Golden Gate Park Museum but they were either under renovation or moving to a different location. I forgot which. That was a big disappointment. So instead we went to yet another (though much nicer) Japanese Garden.
We got in for free which was quite nice. I've been to Japanese Garden in Japan many time and I have to say this one is very very authentic. Even the ticket booth looks almost identical to the ones I've seen in Japan.
Okay, gotta end this for now as it is close to 1 am. Please stay tune for more.

Steve, your are so lucky to have all these cool sites in CA. Now, I want to go there too :)

Can you put more pictures of yourself with your kids next time? I just realize that I see pictures of all these people that you know, but I never see you!

Hi Amy,

I'll do my best in including pictures of me. Since I am the photographer normaly, it's rare to see the person behind the camera. =)

As for cool sites. There are just as much if not more in the East Coast. It's hard when you are so busy wit school work though...
