My sister-in-law suggested visiting a local zoo, Como Zoo, for a Mother’s Day event on Saturday. I’ve heard that they have a Japanese garden, but this was my first time to see it.
母の日第一弾イベントとして、近くの動物園へ行ってきました。ここは、日本庭園があることで知られているのですが、私、訪れたのは初めてでした。
The second stop of our road trip was Des Moines, Iowa. I knew I would probably see a lot of farm land, but the size of it was quite impressive.
When I heard Nebraska, the first thing that came to me was “steak”! More specifically, the picture of the super thick steak you see in every single airline book you find when you fly. So when I discovered so many restaurants offering vegan/vegetarian food options, I was pleasantly surprised. There were several places I wanted to try, but we decided to have dinner at M’s Pub.
Terry and I decided to take a quick road trip this week. The first stop was Omaha, NE. It was my first time visiting this city, and I fell in love with the Old Market district! Beautifully restored brick buildings, unique shops, and lots and lots of restaurants!
This year we went to Cancun, Mexico for a one-week vacation. We stayed at Hard Rock Resort on the beach. We stayed at Hard Rock hotel in Panama last year and we absolutely loved it so our expectation was high. Our hotel room in Cancun was not as large as the Panama one but still spacious and nicely decorated.
今年も寒いミネソタを少し抜け出して、1週間のバケーション。今回は、メキシコのカンクンというところへ行ってきました。昨年パナマで泊まったハードロックホテルが気に入ったので、カンクンのハードロックリゾートを予約。パナマほど大きい部屋ではなかったものの、それでも普通のホテルに比べると広い部屋。そして、ビーチの眺めが最高でした。
