On Sunday, we went to the Cal Academy for the members-only hour.  I can’t believe our membership will expire this month.  Seems like we just joined.  Glad we got to go more than enough to make up the cost.

Afterward, we visited the Japanese Tea Garden for the first time.  It’s just across the street and it’s a lot bigger inside than I expected.

They have an actual tea house inside where we had some tea and tako yaki.

The garden is beautifully manicured and there were lots of nooks and crannies to explore.  The koi pond is probably the coolest part.

The little bridges were the most nerve-racking for parents of a toddler.

Other than that there was plenty of room for Kumquat to roam.

FYI: Admission is $7/adult.  SF residents get in for $5.
