My mom really likes gardens, especially Japanese themes, so this was a must on the week’s agenda.

This would be Jasmine’s first time here. She was excited to get a day off school and for her special sleepover with the grandparents this evening – for which she had packed a couple days in advance.

To summarize our visit: the gardens was a feast for the eyes and soothing to the soul.

For lunch we went to an Indian buffet. And dinner was at their hotel restaurant which had some fabulous desserts.
