The kids and I decided that we hop and go to California for a vacation and to have the army ship more of our stuff over here since we are command sponsored to stay in Korea. We will be here at least until Aug of 2011.  

We left Korea on Wednesday and then spent four night in Japan. The first lady we meet was a Mormon but new to the area. It was great to know that where ever we went we had the church around to help us. 

The first couple of days in Japan we just hung out on post. On Saturday we went to the terminal to see if we could catch a flight out we meet the Atwoods. Misty was able to get on a plane with there daughter she was going to California to take care of her sister who is battling cancer. My prayers go out to her. Brother Atwood and his boys took us around to see some of Japan on Saturday afternoon. First we went to the beach and let the kids play. The had lots of fun running around on the sand and climbing to the top of the play gym. Then we went to a shopping area that had a ferris wheel that never stops turing. You jump on as it is moving. The boys thought it was cool and want to go back to Japan to show Dad and see there friends. Then we headed over to the Okinawa Sea wall. That is the picture of Nemo and us walking on the coral reef. It was so cool and beautiful. The ocean is the East China Sea.  Then we headed back on post and looked at the air museum at the planes. Then we headed over to USO for a couple more pics. Then we had desert and headed home. (aka our hotel room) It was a great day and I am glade that I got to see some of Japan and hope to be able to go back and see more. 

The next day we headed out to Alaska.
