for Golden Week we went to a wonderful resort called Nemu no Sato. It was huge! beaches, a marina, putt putt golf, gardens, go carts, basketball, archery, pools and slides, and a wonderful Onsen. We had the most wonderful time! the boys were in heaven, as were Kirk and I.
When we first arrived it was raining so we went to a really great aquarium in Toba. Jaxon proved to be a real animal guy! first he was kissed by a duck as we entered, then a big fat walrus gave him a big wet, sloppy kiss! and then he cuddled up with a big bird of prey. there were beautiful things to see everywhere! i especially liked the darling little finless porpoise that would turn his head back and forth looking at us, he would come to the window over and over!
the boys really loved the Onsen. Jaxon liked the hot and Ghett liked the cool pool. When i was on the roof top i was blessed to see a beautiful sunset to the west and an amazingly bright double rainbow to the east! am amazing feeling to be standing naked in a hot pool with a gorgeous view of the waterways and surrounding forest, my kids playing nicely in a pool, and the spectacular show of lights! i will never forget that for as long as i live! one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen!
we really enjoyed the hammocks that were all over the resort, they really know how to relax here!
I had a great time with girlfriends visiting the Seto ceramic museum and art center. we were able to make our own bowls, and art. it was lots of fun to get our hands dirty and be creative! thank you to Yumiko for organizing it! i can't wait to go again, and again and make a whole set of bowls to remember my time in japan!
