Yesterday, we met up with V and her daughter A who are in town now.

Since V had never been to Showa Kinen Park, we decided to check it out since the ginkgo tree leaves are yellow.

But first we had snacks...yakisoba and oden 600 yen (tax included) for each

It's a good thing we ate at the time we did because as we were leaving the park the lines for food were kind of krazy

The ginkgo trees..tons of people because tourism is up and as V said, "it's a holiday"

Sasanqua (camellia)

Japanese garden area

Bonsai area

And then we checked out Ikea

Lots and lots of walking!

At least the weather, even if it was overcast, it was not too hot, not too cold...just right

Thanks for today, V & A, hope you enjoyed today's adventure as much as we did. 

Have a safe weekend.
