J's first train ride. It was in the middle of the day, so it was not crowded.
He felt a sleep right away just like a car ride.

April in Japan is Cherry Blossom Season. I have not seen it for 12 years.
It was very pretty as I remember.

Can't forget sweets come along with Cherry Blossom.

My sister came home early from work to go see it,
so that we will miss a big crowd on the weekend.

J loved it
J is a first grandson and a first great grandon in Amai Family.

J got to play with great grandpa.


This is J's Grandpa. Grandpa has not held a baby for years (for 28 years)
so his arms were sored.

My Aunt (my dad's sister) loves taking care of him. She took him for a walk around the neighborhood. He was a little hero. Everyone knew he is half (mixed).

This is my uncle (my dad's brother) I have not seen for 16 years.
It was great that J got to meet him.
I had to take a picture of J and him, since next time when we see him, J might be a teenager.

This is my best friend in Japan, Fumi. J was very happy to meet her.

We visited my friend, Nana and her kids.

This is my friend, Keiko's son, Rintarou. I think J looks a lot like him.

Sacchan took J to Toysrus in Japan. This is Samurai hat for Children's Day in May.

J was a happy baby.

In a mall.

Bread (Pan) Store. There are tons of yummy bread in Japan.

They are doggy clothes. Wish Santa was a girl... There were 2 big stores just for pets at the mall.

Do you want to guess who these cakes are for? Woof Woof.

At a grocery store.

with lots of Bento (lunch box)
