Oldies But Goodies
If Josh looks a little bit younger in the new pictures I posted to the Gallery (dated 07/23/2007), it's because most of them were taken in 2006. Rainy seasons aren't good for much, but this current one provided me with some much needed time to catch up on some old photos that have been patiently awaiting digital processing.
Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise
Sea Paradise is an amusement park and aquarium located on an island up in Yokohama. I've only been there once, but Nicki and Josh have been up there a few times. It's a fun place to visit whether you like roller coasters, slow rides, or water-based animals.
Yokohama International Food Festival
The food at this festival was wonderful. Vendors representing countries and cultures from around the world were there. Spanish food, Belgian beer, and Japanese hospitality... what more can you ask for?
Enoshima Aquarium
Probably our favorite aquarium in Japan (so far). Enoshima is accessible by the Enoden line... a great little old train line that meanders slowly through the beautiful coastal route between Kamakura and Enoshima. The aquarium puts on a great dolphin show, the exhibits are well lit and well kept, and Josh loves that he can touch little sharks in the "hands on" area. Sushi, anyone?
Soleil no Oka
This park has a lot of summertime potential. Unfortunately, we were there in February. It's located near Miura Beach across the peninsula from us and on our particular visit the wind was blowing us like a tornado in a meat locker. I'd love to see this place on a warm day, though. Paddle boats, playgrounds, and petting zoos. And my favorite perk... after you pay your 1000-yen parking fee, the entrance to the park is absolutely free. So load up your car with some energetic kids and head on over!
I mentioned it before and I'll say it one more time... our pics are in the Gallery dated 07/23/2007, or just click here.
