“Goddess of Liberty”

Don’t worry. It only looks like America.  The smog helps the sunset to look beautiful. 

The smog is dazzling!

There is a reason you can’t see The Goddess of Liberty’s face (what our japanese maps called her)  It’s because it is black from the smog.  Anyway, moving on.

We had a great time in Tokyo.  We arrived Wednesday evening and came home Saturday evening.  A good thing about the temple being far away is you feel justified in making mini vacations out of it.  We spent our first morning at a Children’s Castle.  Where they painted on walls.

And played on the playground.  Hold on tight, Mina. 

The evening was spent at the Sky Tree.  I’ll need to Wikipedia the comparison stats…but it was really tall.

Night came…and it was still tall.

Tall enough for a Mina-sized meltdown.  Which are extra powerful in a crowded space 1,000 stories up. You can see I find it quite hilarious.

We went outside and for some reason we gave the girls permission to get themselves soaking wet before our hour long subway ride home.

We eventually realized that was a bad idea and I sent Rachel out on a challenge to buy the kids a spare outfit.  Challenge…..FAILED!

But at least one of them was satisfied on the subway ride home.

It’s okay Mina, we can try again tomorrow.
