so the three of us went up to the city & spent the day playing around in golden gate park.
i had no idea how gigantic it was! it's 174 acres larger than central park!! the weather was superb & there was a lot to do.
the botanical garden at strybing arboretum was my favorite! it was expertly polished! there was exotic & regional plant life everywhere, turtles, ducks, fountains, bamboo forests, & the flawless california poppy! they had the scientific names immaculately labeled for all the plants but we had more fun naming them ourselves. there may have even been a song about purple-hearted clovers if i remember right... ellery fell asleep in the front carrier & it was the funniest thing watching her lifeless limbs swinging from side to side as the chief walked around.
we also went to the japanese tea gardens (also part of golden gate park) & it was all very charming and delicate. winding paths, koi fish, the sweetest bridges EVER, fun little waterfalls, asian zen gardens, lotus blossoms, etc. it was a calm, quiet, good day. :)
