Son and family took a trip to Nagasaki for a few days to see some friends.
And if you know my son, who's goal in life is to ride every train line in Japan this was a perfect trip !
Son sent me the app for "Line" it is what all the Japanese teens use to chat insistently, but it works all over.
For free I can send and receive, photos, chat, 6 second movies, phone and tons of stuff I don't use.
It is great for me because on this trip he was sending photos constantly through out the day so I could see what was going on.
A before the trip photo here is one of son and granddaughter (in his backpack) standing on the train.
He is visiting as many parks as he can somewhat close to his home.
The caption on this one is "Mia how did you get so big"
She loves to hold on to the rings.

Welcome to Nagasaki sign.
Cherry Blossoms are out already in Inari.
Which is way south from Osaka and the weather is much warmer.
So lovely
Mia wearing a yukata for the first time before going to the bath in their hotel.
She also wanted to keep the Winnie The Poo slippers that she wore at the hotel.
Lunch, Mocchi soup !
Son is a train person so while DIL visited with friends Son took a train trip from Omura to Sasebo, Matsuruura, Imari and back to Omuro.
I miss riding the trains in Japan.

how delightful those photos are! and how fortunate are we as grandmothers to have children so tech savvy when it comes to sending us pics of THEIR children!!! xoxoxox
ReplyDeleteI second that, tech savvy children.
DeleteThe moochi looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteHugs and chocolate,

Mocchi soup so good but one has to be careful chewing and swallowing the mocchi, it has been know to choke people.
DeleteIt's called guzoni and is local to the city of Shimabara in the east of Nagasaki prefecture. It's like ozoni, the traditional new year's soup with mochi, but this one is enjoyed year round.

DeleteMia is a dolly!!
ReplyDeleteI know she is my granddaughter but she is very sweet. I must watch myself around her because I don't want to constantly be saying how cute. She is much more but she is very cute !
DeleteAlready hanging onto the rings - she knows how to ride in style.
ReplyDeleteThe cherry blossoms look beautiful. It must be quite a thing to see them in bloom.
ReplyDeleteMia's got an adorable grin!
ReplyDeleteAnd the cherry blossoms look beautiful!
Looks like it was a fun trip! I enjoyed seeing Mia wearing the yukata, the cherry blossoms and the mocchi soup. :)
ReplyDeleteMia in the Yakata is super cute. Thanks for the journey. I loved it!
