so we've just arrived after a very very long 14hr flight. that thankfully wasn't too bad as we were able to switch seats so we weren't next to a small child. here we are on the narita express. a train that goes from the narita airport to tokyo station. as you can see by the blurry window behind we're going pretty fast!

TOKYO!

coming soon!
us in tokyo!
yes tokyo!!!
no, our tour has not quite gone international. . . however we did!
we took our vacation this year to tokyo to go primarily to the tokyo game show!
it was amazing!
only 8 days (with a whole day lost to travelling by plane) but it was amazing! so worth the pain of jet lag!
we saw so many temples, harajuku, dancers, girls in amazing clothes, shopping, so much yummy food!

and of course the tokyo game show was mind boggling! so many games! new games! we love games!!!

boston


nooooo, don't kiss me!!!!
not me, not me!!!

ha, ha
this is our friend john! he was a cricket in the show for a few months. unfortunately he was only a temp. a replacement for an injured artist. . which sadly means he has left us for another show!

boston


boston is beautiful!

boston


is there ever any doubt that we'll find water no matter where we go?
boston is an amazing city and we're quite sad to have left it already. it was too short a stay and not enough days off! but we blame Gersh for that. . . he had many friends and family in boston so he requested as many nights and days off as possible.
for a fellow swing tech we will forgive.
the crab here is great! all the seafood is!
however, we will admit it was very, very humid!

boston


and our mommy has outdone herself yet again! such a scrumptious lunch! we have fruit salad, onigiri, salad and a shake!

ninja duckie is trying to eat all the fruit! such a piggie!

boston














here we are just outside quincy market with Olga! this yellow thing is a large banana type thing!
but don't worry, its not squashing us!

an outing in boston

as always we get shoved into the bag. . . but at least this time its with the yummy lunch!
we're going out to quincy market in boston, ma
and with our new friend Olga!
