NOT. We didn't get in. Mei drove her relatively new Impreza, nephew Wesley, mom and me. They handed out 25,000 timed tickets for the 9:30-9pm opening day and they were gone in a jiffy. So, we braved the traffic, a minor fender-bender, and the crowds..... for nothing. We ended up walking around the Strybing Arboretum for a little bit, then we went home.
One must think carefully about the cost-benefits of such freebies in the future...
Maybe I'll try again one of those wednesdays...
Maybe...
