Our Labor Day Weekend!

We had fun weekend adventures to Yokohama and Tokyo. Went to Yokohama on Saturday for the day - did some window shopping, checked out the tallest building in Japan, walked along the waterfront, and saw the biggest ferris wheel in the world! Then on Sunday after church we headed to Tokyo. We stayed at the Navy's hotel there (really nice!!) and enjoyed the evening in the Ginza section of town.....kind of like Times Square meets 5th Ave. (neon lights and high dollar shops galore!) Then on Monday we went to the part of the city called Akihabara....it's a whole town filled with discount electronics stores - including music stores filled with hundreds of pianos and guitars (Josh was in his glory!) We spent loads of time looking at all the latest MAC gimics and searching for some rock n' roll gear for Josh...he in turn took time to look at stationary, flower shops, and a few gardens with me!! Unfortunately the gardens around the Imperial Palace are closed on Mondays, so we'll have to check them out another time. All in all, our first big excursion on public transportation was a big success!
