Well, we’re back! We just spent two weeks in the US visiting family and had a great time! Lots of love and thanks to Grandma for having us over! Grandma finally got to see her new grandson Noah, and Anri and Sara had a blast at the pool, on a boat and in the mountains!

The trip out was long and tiring, but we finally arrived in Farmington and were able to see almost the whole family. Best of all, Anri and Sara got to play with their cousins. The house looked like a nursery school from day to day and it got noisy.

We also took a day trip or two. We went to Lackawaxen, PA to see the Zane Grey Museum.

We also went to Plymouth, MA to look at Mayflower II. Anri wanted the ship to sail out to see with her on it, but she had to wait until the next day, when we took the slow ferry to Nantucket. We spent a day on Nantucket, walking around town, looking at all the pretty houses and letting Tomomi take a look in all the little shops. Tomomi LOVED Nantucket. Very few Japanese know about this place.

In between, the kids went to the Feild Club a lot, and Anri had her first swimming lessons there. We all ate way more than we should have, but we are making up for that now that we are back in Japan.

We took a lot of photos, of course! I’ll put up the link to these soon!
