Weekend Fun

As my Dad put it, seems like we're doing a lot more in Tokyo than we did in NY! Gotta say I agree! We are realizing that there's always something going on and it's fun to get out and check it out.



Yesterday Nicholas went to a book club on optical illusions at the American Club and after we had lunch. We rode the bus out and then came back on the train - we needed to get Nicholas a train commuter card. Sydney is still free which is nice! I had read that all of the stations have a collector's stamper and we discovered yesterday where they were - I bought the kids a notebook and now we can carry it with us and collect stamps from all of the different places and stations we visit.



Last night, the Lasher's came over for good ole American BBQ! Chris grilled us hamburgers and hot dogs and they were soooooooooo good! I was very disappointed that I couldn't find Bush's baked beans at the Japanese grocery store... :) but I sent Nicholas down to the international store - they didn't have them either but he was able to get one made by Campbell's. They were OK but could have used some "doctoring" as my mom would say!

Today we went to soccer with Nicholas and then went over to the TV Asahi pavilion for a jazz concert - think very mild concert - good music but not much movement from the crowd! After dinner we strolled to Tony Romas for dinner and then on home - the kids were exhausted after two late nights.
