Day on the Japanese Coast

This afternoon we headed to Statue of Liberty Park. I was 99% sure the blossoms would be gone but really wanted to share this with Michael. They are mostly gone. We did find a tree or too. 




The kids hid their disappointment well 


Jared isn't feeling well. We stopped by the house and dropped him off. We ran to kaikohen (Momoishi) Beach. They've managed to get down to asphalt in the parking lot now. They are cleaning up the area we cleaned . It is interesting to watch. 

Hmm....interesting gardening technique. 

Made dinner and all went to bed. I'm still loving the pressure cooker....Michael said to look for a steel one.  I'm fading too, now. LOL

Prayer Update

Josiah, Jamin and the Japan contingent all flew out of the NW Sunday a.m.

Krista will begin her trek to Turkey Monday a.m.

Bre and Krista are packing their apartment. Bre will have a bunch of friends over to help move things out on Monday or Tuesday.

Bre is renting a room and house sitting for the summer. The girls have found a roommate and will look for a 3 bdr apartment or home in late summer.

Prays for all the moving parts are very welcomed.

We Lost Sunday


We spent 10 hours at SEATAC and made it on the Space A flight home! Yes - for all but me - there and back via Space A - the only way to travel internationally. 

I do have a list of suggestions for how they could stream line this process, just in case I'm ever asked. ::snort:: 

We began boarding at 4:20 and flew at 5:20 a.m. on SUNDAY - we arrived home   - 9 hours later at 6 a.m. on MONDAY....we lost Sunday. 

Thus ends this vacation. 

I didn't sleep on the plane. Several of us took naps when we got home.  All but me are now in bed....but soon. I'm trying to get a handle on the waiting projects....feeling a bit disoriented...

We're wondering how long it will be until we have our first post vacation earthquake.....any guesses?
