Well, as usual, I try to make plans for Spring Break, and as usual, they come to naught. Not because I make grand plans or anything, but because invariably the kids’ schedules for school tend to creep in somewhere. So this week, we shall be travelling around the area playing tourists. First stop: The Japanese Gardens!
Pretty, isn’t it? It is a hidden jewel, but one worth enjoying. A picnic lunch after walking around, and then a trip to the zoo, just a few blocks down from there. And yes, tradition holds the kids take a picture of their mother with the flamingos. Tradition also holds I never show it to anyone 😉

A STAYCATION is a great idea! I have wonderful memories of that garden, the SA zoo, etc. Enjoy! 🙂 and I have to know if you are standing on one leg, wearing pink in the flamingo pics? 🙂

Last time I did wear a pink shirt, but didn’t stand on just one leg 😀

Nice pic. That looks like a very cool place, Aggie.
I’ll probably do a “staycation” this year too. Not my first choice, but that’s how things work out sometimes.

Well, you live in a really pretty area, so that’s an advantage 🙂

This year is the first time in six years that the state Science Olympiad has not coincided with spring break, so I am grateful to be able to go somewhere other than Montgomery!

Too bad you aren’t coming here!!

Me, too, my kids have never been to Texas, and I’ve only been to Dallas and Houston.

And that ^^^^ looks really cool. Bet our kids would get along great.

They sure would. Between the videogame geekery and rabid physics experimentation, the boys would get along like a house on fire. As long as they don’t set fire to it, that is.
And my 12 year old has the same likes as your Mini-Me, too!! Hopefully one day y’all will come, since there is so much to do and see here 😀
