Universal Studio Pictures

I went to Universal Studio with family over MLK weekend. Below are
pictures from the trip. The trip was fun and well worth it since I
haven't been there in almost 20 years! (Click on the pictures to see a
larger version.)

SF Golden Gate Park

Below are pictures from a recent trip to SF's Golden Gate Park. It was
nice to take advantage of a short break from the rains and visit the
park. Too bad we didn't get to see the bisons, and the De Young Meseum
and Asian Art Meseum were under construction. But we were able to go to
Japan Town afterwards. Click on the pictures to see a bigger version.


Entrance To Japanese Tea Garden


The Tea Garden had several different types of trees and plants. Very green, but not too much flowers around this time of the year.


Tea Garden Tower
