Trip update

So things are going great.  We have been so busy it seems that we leave the house early in the morning and get back in the later afternoon and we are all exhausted.  I have walked more here than I have at any time in my life – and that is saying a lot since many of you know I am a BIG fan of walking and do it a lot at home.

We have been hitting different neighborhoods and checking them out.  Shopping is fun and exhausting at the same time.  My favorite has been Kiddy Land – a giant toy store with a whole floor of Hello Kitty stuff *gush*.  My 8 year old self just about died.  Of course the actual kid, Rowan, also loved it.  

Eating has also been challenging.  Jason has his paleo diet and we also don’t want to overload on the multitude of bread items.  Plus – you have no idea what most stuff is.  It has been fun though.  I had a seafood gumbo the other day that had things with heads in it.  Interesting indeed…

Jacob has been babysitting a lot for us and Rowan is loving that.  Jason and I have been able to go out a few nights and have dinner alone – nice.   Jacob has finally found some people to hang out with too and so he doesn’t feel beholden to us at all times.  He leaves tomorrow to go home.  Then it is back to just the family.   Rowan will going with me to yoga the next couple of days once Jacob leaves.  She is pretty good and entertains herself while I practice.   

Things to do before we leave:  Hello Kitty land on Tuesday ; go to the local sento (bathhouse); hang with the man since he won’t be home for a couple of more weeks.

Here is a link to my pictures so far.  I was getting too many to post on this site.
