Family Vacation Day Seven (Wednesday): Today we drove back to San Antonio. Rachel specifically asked to visit the Holocaust Museum:
Located in a Jewish center it was on the second floor:
Thought provoking. . .
After the museum we went to a park across the street from our next destination, the Japanese Tea Garden & Chinese Gardens. This was Mom’s destination of choice and we all found beauty to enjoy! It was advertised as a Japanese Tea Garden online.
This little sign was off to the side of the main entrance:
It was beautiful:
Lots of water, pathways and greenery and Luna Dog was allowed to join us:
Papaya!!
We all enjoyed the gardens:
There even was a waterfall:
We all had our favorite spots:
Peaceful!
Mom and Dad really enjoyed it too:
In the front outside the gardens was an old “Mexican Village”:
Not much more to see and you could not go inside:
Our next stop is the AirBnB.
In the evening we walked to a Belgian Bistro for dinner:
We were having a great day!
Then we walked to Hemisfair Park, a local free park. It was amazing! There were outside games, gardens, playgrounds, sculptures, and , art, music and a plethora of water features.
We tried to play ping pong. We had so much fun!
There were lots of sculptures:
This park contains a life-size cow sculptures that are transformed by local artists and auctioned off for charity:
The Tower of the Americas:
There were lots of water features by the tower:
It’s easy to relax here!
Apparently a bee was chasing them:
A relaxing end of the day:
Best of friends sisters:
Lizzy’s favorite:
Until she saw. . .
Fabulous day!
