Tokyo Fun Trip: The End

 Sunday was a free day.  That was great, because we had plans.  We went to church.  And then we went to our new friend's house for lunch.  And then we kind of stayed.  The girls had a great time playing with their 6 kids plus a neighbors 3 or 4 more kids.  So it was kind of a crazy busy fun house.  And we got lunch!  It was a good day.

Because Tokyo is so tough to drive in, the family uses a "bucket-bike" to move around town with multiple childrens,  and we got a ride home in it.  It was a tight squeeze and a little unnerving, but we made it safely back to the hotel!  It was kind of nice to relax that evening and I had packing to do.

Monday morning we made it to the fancy breakfast buffet, and it was lovely and delicious.  We got on the bus at 9am and started the long journey home.  We stopped every 2 hours or so, but in the middle Delaney and I both needed to go, so I blamed her and asked for an early stop.  We stopped 30 minutes early for our potty break, which was much appreciated.  We had a longer lunch and dinner stop and managed to arrive back to Iwakuni a full hour before the schedule officially said we'd be home. I was very happy with a 9pm arrival.  Dan picked us up and drove us home and all was right with the world!

Ywp, still love the view Sunday morning!  The church building is right next to the temple.

This is the Bucket Bike!  The 3 of us squished into the bucket for the ride back. It was all kinds of awesome! 

Delaney loved this family bathroom stall.  It has everything one might need.  And you can't even see the baby-changing table.  Note the urinal for a boy, kid-size sink,  the tiny toilet, the "changing stand" (where you step up to change clothes so your clothing doesn't touch the gross floor when you are changing), and the adult sized toilet.

My very first Big Mac in a year.  It was delicious. 

And for dinner, I had curry chicken.  Yum! Japanese rest stops are the best!

Dipping Dots after dinner.   In Melon Soda flavor!

Callie had a rose flavored ice cream cone.  It was interesting, and cold and delicious.
