Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year







For Valentine's day this year we decided to venture out with some good friends into China Town in Yokohama, Japan. We stopped for lunch at a fabulous Brazilian BBQ place. All you can eat and drink for 2 hours. Needless to say, we left stuffed! We left the restaurant just in time to catch the 4:00 Chinese New Year parade. It was unbelievably crowded! We could not move an inch. The parade featured a dragon that would approach buildings where people had food hanging from a string to lour the dragon in. The dragon would then jump up to get the food. Madelyn was such a trooper the entire trip. I think she was too fascinated with all the people and interesting things to look at to think about anything else!

Tama Hills Camping






Two weekends ago Madelyn, Greg, the dogs and I headed to Tama Hills for some "camping". It was definitely luxurious camping! We had an awesome cabin tucked in the woods with a hot tub out back! It was great. Tama Hills is a resort area owned by the US Air Force. Military can go there as an escape. They have horseback riding, archery, golf, putt putt, hiking, etc...
