Last night (Friday) we had a bunch of friends over for a game night. It was alot of fun, basically the whole branch (three families, including ours). Stayed up too late and paid for it this morning when Adina and I went out on our 'day' date.
We got a babysitter and drove up to Fukuoka, Daizaifu district, where they were having a antique bazaar near a shrine. It was a very sunny day and it was a busy place. We had a lot of fun looking at all the japanese antiques. There were many things that we wanted to get, however, thanks to the fact that we only can get yen (easily) back on the base, we had a set limit that we could not overshoot or else we wouldn't have the $30 for the tolls on the way home. We did end up buying a couple of cool wood antique rice buckets. Dad, we saw a couple of antique phonographs that we thought you would have bought, but didn't have that much dough on us. The cherry blossoms are starting to bloom, I think they will be full force when mom and dad are here. I will attach some pics of our day on the blog.
We then went out to mainbase this afternoon for Adina's football practice (which she thoroughly enjoyed) and my long Saturday run. By the time we got home, it was baths, die eggs, bed. Very long day and the kids are beat...as are we.
We miss you all and love to hear about your lives.
