Heading home

C decided to try standing on her own yesterday... things are about to become a lot more dangerous.... So amazing to see her already standing though.

We are heading home from Japan today. Overall a great trip. We saw so many interesting areas of Tokyo, went to some great museums, palaces, parks, saw cherry blossoms and tried to visit as many shrines as we could fit in despite rain the entire time we were in Kyoto. There were so many things to do we would have needed a month more to see everything.

We had a lot of great meals of soba, sushi, Thai, Indian and Vietnamese... It was all in all wonderful. Our favorite meal was a very traditional Japanese restaraunt on the Gion... a very cultural experience!

K was a great sport about everything and C tried as best as she could... She is really into crawling so the trip was a bit tough on her as there was no where to put her down... This made it hard for her as she was always in someone's arms, the bjorn or the stroller... However the evening romp arounds in the hotel were well received by both kids. Definitely a good learning experience for the next couple trips until C is two and more comfortable sitting and less interested in walking all the time.. The other issue was no highchairs with seatbelts meant she couldn't enjoy her favorite activity... eating.. she had to be held for this as well and that didn't make her the best eater... Luckily travel is about being flexible and seeing new things and both girls did amazing with being game for both.

Glad the flight home is two hours shorter and we have a full day to get the girls back on track for another quarter of school and of course work. Another wonderful trip.
