Great cities, great parks. Ever large city park has attractions that you go to, even if you live there, to know what the
hubbub is all about. Since we've just moved here, we get to
experience it all like tourist, but know that if something is really spectacular, we get to come back another day. The Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park, is one of those places. We went on Valentines day, and had the run of the place.
No lines, no waiting, lovely tea, salty snacks, and well behaved kids. OK,
Akira was sick and ended up with a 103 fever that night, and
Kieran ran around like a madman and climbed all things climbable, but it was lovely as I wasn't having to stop him or keep him from
careening into to many other tourist. There were a couple of lovely vistas, and its was certainly nice ... and because we staid for tea, we brought down our dollar per minute
ratio down to a pleasant level. Its small, but beautiful, something a little lost on the kids. I'd go back with a visitor, but probably not with the kids.
