Golden Week Fun

This past week was Golden Week. Daddy had off work Monday through Wednesday for national holidays. Then he took Thursday off and worked from home on Friday. It was great to have the husband around all week. We took advantage of the car share service and escaped the city on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday we visited some friends who live in Chiba. They are only here for one year and Miyako has really enjoyed their two girls who are 5 and 7. They live near a great park, so while the dads took the kids to play at the park, the moms and Jun stayed inside and enjoyed tea and fellowship. It was a very fun day with lots of good play time for Miss M. On Tuesday, we took a car to Yokohama and visited a HUGE park, with over 200 acres of land. We did not even see everything they had to offer, but we had a fabulous time. The K Man loved riding the little train and driving these cars. Miss M loved the large playgrounds, and these huge jumping things. They reminded me of moonwalks. It was children's day so all children were free, plus the park was celebrating its 50th anniversary. It was very crowded but did not seem so crowded because it was so big. It is always nice when you can escape the city and concrete and enjoy large parks with lots of green trees.
