The day before Thanksgiving, I thought it might be fun to take Emi-chan to Happy Hollow Park and Zoo at Kelley Park. When we pulled into the parking lot, I thought, "Score!" Free parking. Little did I know that the reason why parking was free is because Happy Hollow was closed!!! Closed, darn you!!! But, we weren't the only ones that tried to visit the zoo. Tons of people were pulling into the parking lot, and then immediately leaving. I decided that we would explore the park a little bit.
Emi-chan and I walked down a path which lead to the Japanese Friendship Garden. It was built to commemorate the sister-city relationship San Jose has with Okayama. Emi-chan and I explored the different levels of the garden. There were pretty ponds, noisy brooks, cute ducks, lovely waterfalls, beautiful trees.
So noisy!
Later on, we rested and had a quick lunch.
