Amy's Visit

Well, Amy and Alaina came to visit us and stayed 4 days. We took her and Alaina back to the airport today. During their stay we toured Disneyland Tokyo, Kamakura, China Town & Motomachi, and then on their last day Curtis took the girls to the swimming pool and Amy and I did some souvenir shopping. It was a whirl wind tour but we had a great time and Avery loved having a "live in" playmate. Here are just a few pictures from their stay.

Amy bought the girls matching outfits to wear at Disney...aren't they cute!


Avery, Alaina, and Bell...she was so sweet to spend ALOT of time talking to the girls.


We took Amy to Shabu Shabu to eat and we brought the girls Mac n' Cheese


Big Buddha is always a hit at the party.... can't visit Japan and not see Big Buddha!

Curtis and Amy went to Curtis's favorite sushi shop to eat FRESH sushi while the girls and I ate good old McDonald's after Kamakura. I later taught Amy how to make sushi rolls after our day of shopping. On this night we ate sushi rolls, yakisoba, and gyoza.....YUMMY!!!! What better way to end a trip than some good food shared with friends.

Thank you Andy and Amy for planning this trip for my surprise birthday present, that was awesome!! Thank you Curtis for taking time off to be our "pack mule" and "baby sitter" and making sure Amy didn't end up in Kathmandu.

I'm sure your visit was exciting. Now, you, Teresa, Betty Ann and Amy can talk about Japan and be able to visualize it. Mom and I will join you three in Orange Beach next spring.
Well, only 60 some-odd days until your feet are back in good old Nashville. Sable is counting down the days!!!!!
Love you very much!
