Tokyo Part 1 and Nikko

This last weekend we took our first trip to Tokyo.

At the airport.

Timmy doing his share

Mt. Fuji from the plane

After we got to Tokyo it was off to the trains (I think we averaged about 5 trains a day)

Shoko and Timmy on the train to Nikko. Nikko is about a 2 1/2 train ride north of Tokyo. Famous for it's hot springs.




At the traditional Hotel we stayed at they had these Yukatas (traditional Japanese clothing worn around the house). When in Rome...... They are very comfortable, I may even buy some.


Dinner at the restaurant in the Hotel.


The Five-Storied Pagoda in Nikko Japan.


Timmy's first time in the snow, he doesn't care that we are taking pictures.


Timmy frolicking


Timmy and Shoko playing (It's her first time in the snow as well.)





Family pic at a waterfall. We are holding our hands that way because it is how Timmy shows you how old he is.


Timmy threw a snowball.

Front Gate to Nikko Mausoleum Rin-no-ji Taiyuin
I think this is The God of Thunder



Lake Chuzenji (ranked 7th most beautiful lake in Japan, yeah they rank em.)


Beautiful pic of the Lake and Mountains
Another Family pic (we hadn't met up with Shoko's sister Sawa yet)

Kegon Falls


Don't remember what this is.

Very cool. Kim keeps tabs of what we're doing on her blog: hopelesslyharen.wordpress.org she has lots of great pics of our daughter too. Looks like you guys had fun, I'm kinda jealous, right now, a trip to SLC was a big deal, but such is life.
