Vacation Days @ Home



We spent the 15th doing laundry, buying groceries, playing wii, catching up with friends (doggy and others) and turning in the rental van....a great vacation. I'm nearly ready to do it again.  



We even received five boxes of groceries!
The kids have spent a lot of time catching up with friends, enjoying the snow storms....they built the car AROUND Nolan and the poor boy was COLD by the time he got in. ::snort:: 



The 17th Michael was sick so we spent the day at home rather than attend church.  

We fell in love with Japan again on this trip. It was GREAT family time.  People we met and things we saw have led to meaningful conversations. The whole trip was like a giant field trip for our younger three as they are studying Japanese History this year.

Racing for Home


We began our race home to Misawa on the 13th. We drove from Osaka to Camp Zama. Before we left, I  HAD to go out on the window ledge...oops - look who noted my early a.m. adventure. He joined me.


Lots of apartments in Osaka

Love the rest areas in Japan 

Fujisan 

Mt Fuji - they climbed that ::grin:: 
 It was great to  catch up with a couple of PWOC friends at Camp Zama: Kristin and Amanda. I relished our relaxing  hot drink and the visit was even more refreshing. We were impressed with Zama's lodging and free breakfast.  The next morning we took off for Misawa.....We savored our last tastes of spring.  We knew what waited for us in Misawa....



WINTER...snow....Misawa didn't disappoint. We've had nearly  non-stop snow since we arrived home.
