Today was a fun day! We got up early, got the girls ready, and then took off for Hase to see the Great Buddha. After being in Japan all these months, we still hadn't gone to go see it. After trying to figure out which train we needed to be on (kind of difficult when you don't read the language or speak it), we finally got there. Grace was all excited about riding on the trains. She had a really good time during the whole trip. Hailee on the other hand... was not quite the happy camper. She has reached that stage where she knows she can walk really well and she doesn't want to be held or pushed in the stroller. Only problem is, she doesn't walk fast so unless we want to travel at a snail's pace, one of us either has to carry her or put her in the stroller. And she let everyone know that she DID NOT like that. Her favorite part of the trip was when we actually got to the place and she got to walk around. The Buddha place was really cool. Of course we didn't go there for any kind of worship purposes like a lot of the people that were there. We were there for the historical and tourist side of it. The Buddha statue was built over 7 1/2
centuries ago. We even walked inside it.
I think we're going to make plans to go to Tokyo and stay in a nice hotel there for the weekend of my birthday in a couple weeks. Should be lots of fun :) I know my little star traveler Gracie will love it. She just loves to be out and about seeing new things. Hopefully Hailee will enjoy that trip more than she did this one.
