Aqua City

It's Saturday and we just got home from a trip to Aqua City - which is a big mall down on the waterfront. It's relatively easy to get to - only two trains. We do believe we have moved past the "train novice" stage... It was so nice to be able to see some different views - the second train we were on actually went out over the water and made a big loop - a bit unnerving but doable. It was very crowded but a neat place - we saw several "American" stores like Eddie Bauer, Disney, Gap, and Brooks Brothers. We also saw a personal favorite - Kua Aina - our favorite hamburger place from the North Shore of Hawaii. When we came in they said "Aloooooo-ha" and took our order - it's wasn't as good as the North Shore - but it was pretty darn good. I had the pineapple burger (they put grilled pineapple on it) and we had a huge order of onion rings and fries... YUM! We saw a brochure that there are 13 Kua Aina's in Japan - very exciting!

After lunch we went to the Toys R Us - Geoffrey greeted us and we had a great time looking at everything - Nicholas found himself a Leroy Stitch - something he's been looking for for about 2 years! Sydney found a Hello Kitty dressed as a Statue of Liberty, which was a perfect choice because there at Aqua City was a replica of the Statue of Liberty.

We took a VERY crowded train back and then strolled home in the rain... after a dinner of turkey hot dogs, the little ones are now in bed, cuddling their new creatures.
