Nakamura House

 The kids were out of school on Friday, and Dan had the day off.  So we went on an adventure.  Except Josh was in Korea.  And Delaney was at her friend's house.  So it was just Marian, Callie and Rylee.  We had a good time.  I wanted to go see Nakamura House.  It is the oldest standing house on Okinawa and was built in the 1400s, I think. It was very interesting.  And large.  And cool.

Silly shenanigans on the lawn.

 Cuties, enjoying the garden.

 Not entirely thrilled to have a photo taken.

The courtyard to the house. 

The married son's quarters, or guest quarters.  So interesting how different the houses were from what we have now.  

Super awesome roof decoration.

And then we wanted to go to Nakagusku Castle.  But the GPS was lame and took us elsewhere.  So we checked out this cool shrine.

Rylee is posing for me.  

And all the girls let me take a picture of them.  Isn't it pretty? 

And then there was this little shrine.

And this cool statue that you can't see with the shadows. 

Rylee met a stone frog and thought a kiss might be in order.  It did not turn into a prince, stone or otherwise.
