February Fun

February is the start of the most delicious strawberries on earth!!!

Kai calls them, "EE GO" (Ichigo in Japanese).

For our 2nd annual Valentines tradition..we went north of Tokyo to the strawberry farms.

The price is Y1,500 per adult and Y500 for Kai Kun...all you can eat!

If you've seen the price for strawberries in the supermarket here (Y600-Y1,500/small container), you know we definitely ate our moneys worth! Kai loves strawberries and may have eaten more than we did two years in a row! The strawberries are so PERFECT..soft, melt in your mouth, large like a Popsicle, sparkly red and delicious!

International Orchid Expo

This past weekend we decided to see the worlds largest international orchid expo. Along with all the older Japanese ladies, we had a great time. Who knew that there were over 3,000 species of orchids and so many ways to display them. There was even a judging category on best fragrance! Thanks to Peter, our professional photographer, we have a little glimpse of the beautiful orchids. Enjoy!

My Favorite Orchid...yellow, purple with a pearl looking center!

Proof that Kai was there too..just sleeping ;)

These orchids have cherry blossoms stamped onto the petals along with glitter and little jewels.
