Grandpa Youngberg crossed the ocean last March and we forgot to blog about it. (We also forgot about the blog completely). It was a wonderful spur of the moment visit. My dad decided to fulfill a lifelong dream of seeing Ankor Wat in Cambodia. After a crazy maverick trip to southeast Asia we got him to come up to Misawa!
It was so nice! We did a ton of hanging around the house. Did a ton of puzzles and playing with blocks. I believe the lego set below was a belated Christmas gift from Aunt Stephanie. It was a delight.
A delight? Really? Your thinking I am romanticizing this. But nay, I tell you it’s true. A long winter is made good with a few puzzles, Legos, and relaxed and easy go lucky Grandpa.
Speaking of romantic though. There is no more special a place than Yoshino’s Steakhouse in Misawa. Brett wants to marry it. We took my dad and he really enjoyed this literal mom-pop-and-son joint.
It burned down 3 days later. Seriously. It was sad. And weird.
Also what was weird is that we stood in a huge crowd of people to watch the Power Rangers at the fish market. I didn’t take any pictures of them because I was hoping it was a phase and since I am writing this 7 months later I can report I was right. Mom:1. Power Rangers:0 (Unless you count how many bad guys they have caught, then it would be like 100).
We also saw this tree. I think it was around when Christ was alive. I think…. I don’t know. I’m the worst tour guide of all time. Keep your tip money.
These are the princesses of Misawa.
Here we are at the Weasel’s den enjoying some mini golf. (yah, I know, my dad is easy to please).
And this is Mina enjoying so really spicy ramen. This girl lives on the edge for being toddler!
This is our favorite Ramen house '”Thunder.” This was the first place we ate (off-base) in Japan. First and still my favorite!
I was so sad to say goodbye, but thankful for a dad willing to travel!

What!?! That restaurant burned down? That's terrible. I remember how much Brett loved it. Did they build something back up? How will Brett survive if they didn't?
The picture of Mina eating spicy ramen....is she wearing a hula-hoop? Please tell me she is because that is just awesome.
I kind of thought she was also, but actually its the arm of the kiddie chair she's on.
Yes it burned down, but they built it back up. I need to take brett for his birthday.
