Here are some pictures from the NEO Spring Picnic, which we held last Sunday at the park near the library. About 40 people came to Futsukaichi Park to enjoy the weather and make some lemonade with us!
It was quite windy and we had to chase paper cups around the park a few times, but the temperature was just right. It got a little cloudy, but never rained.
Our students took turns helping us squeeze the lemons, and we made a few pitchers of both regular and pink lemonade. We also played a few games, including a sack race, a water balloon toss, and watermelon smash. Everyone had a good time and it was a fun way to spend a spring day!
Over Golden Week I went back to visit my parents in Washington, DC. I was only there for a few days, but my wife and I were able to do a lot of sightseeing.
I had about 13 hours between planes in Seattle, Washington, so I took a train downtown and went sightseeing. I’ve never been there before so it was interesting to see Seattle’s famous tower, the Space Needle, and walk around the famous Pike Place Market.
We went to downtown DC to see some museums and go to a baseball game one day. The next day we drove about an hour north to Baltimore, Maryland to see the city and visit the National Aquarium.
The day after that we took a plane to Detroit, Michigan and drove about two hours to Bryan, Ohio, which is my mother’s hometown. We visited some friends and family there and toured the candy company in town. Then back to Japan! It was a very busy week for us.
What did you do for Golden Week?
I finally made plans for Golden Week. As usual, it was very late-minute and a little more expensive than it should have been…but I got tickets to Busan, South Korea! I’ll be there for almost five days, which should be plenty of time to explore the city.
I was in Busan once before, way back in 2011. But I only stayed there about 12 hours before taking a train to another city. This time, I’ll be traveling with a few friends. We’re going to see as much of the city as possible, and maybe take a couple of day trips as well.
Last time it rained almost the whole day and I didn’t a lot of pictures. I hope the weather will be nicer this time around!
