My mom, sister and I went to Cleveland for the Orchids at the Botanical Garden. Stopped at the Lake View Cemetery, lunch at Sunshine Pho, and stopped at the Asian grocery store. It was a fun filled day.
If you follow me, you know I have discovered and become a huge fan of the Park and Shop Grocery store in Asian town!

So many fun things and lots of tea items.
I bought this oolong tea to try- I will let you know what I think of it.
I got this white tea cakes that I can't wait to try too.
They also have bubble tea and boba. The boba is a really good price. This is where I will start buying it now. It is around $6.
I bought this tea...yes, this jelly is a tea. It is funny my friend was JUST telling me about this tea. I bought it, but I have been afraid to try it...lol. It is really unique looking.
I picked up the egg tarts I love so much. Some for me and some for friends. I also picked up some mochi. my friend's birthday was coming up and I knew he would love some...and he did.
These oolong teas are around $1.25, and they are fantastic, so I picked them up too. The grape oolong on the far left is my favorite!
So many fun teas to try. The instant milk teas here are great. The flavors are really fun too. I was hoping for the Earl Grey that I had gotten a few weeks ago, but they were out of it.
I am always fascinated by the chip flavors too.
Always unique cookies and treats too.
We ate at Sunshine Pho. It was excellent.

We then headed to the Orchids at the Botanical Garden. I admit I more went to hang out with my mom and sister. It is not something I would have done on my own. But, I loved it. I had no idea there were so many kinds of orchids.
It was $20 to get.
I'm not sure how many times I thought to myself, I bet God had so much fun creating these flowers! They are incredibly unique and beautiful.
The Botanical Garden did a great job with their displays.
We then went to a Lake View cemetery to find a waterfall and we saw where President Garfield was buried.
Also below left is the grave for JD Rockefeller, Sr. On the right is “The Angel of Death Victorious” also known as the “Haserot Angel”.
"The statue’s most striking feature, however, is how death’s guardian appears to be weeping black tears, which pour from its eyes and drip down its neck. These “tears” formed over time, probably an effect of the aging bronze combined with the impressive sculpting work of the piece itself. As a result, it is often referred to as the Weeping Angel. The work was created by the Danish sculptor Herman N. Matzen who, originally from Detroit, studied in Europe and then returned to the United States, becoming one of Cleveland’s most famous artists. He died in 1938, at the age of 77, and was buried in the same cemetery as his famous angel.
Although Lake View Cemetery stretches over 280 acres, many visitors take the time to go searching for this melancholy sentinel. Even though she is undeniably macabre, she is also undeniably beautiful.
The angel is located in Section 9 on Lot 14."

1 Peter 4:10-11, ESV
1 Peter 4:10-11, ESV
10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: 11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
