Cherry Blossoms - Three Weeks to go

About three weeks to go and the Cherry Blossoms are in full bloom, except the one in front of my house, go figure.  The weather today is fantastic but the wind is picking up.  We wanted to visit the beach and check out some nice Cherry trees.  First stop, the beach, it was very nice and Julia and I found some great shells and rocks while Jeff jogged on the beach.  There were some people fishing or clamming.  I am not sure which.  Out in the ocean you could see huge vessels probably carrying cars somewhere in the world.  Then off to Kakegawa castle to see the flowers and get some ice cream.  It was very crowded but still nice.  The kid made it until 7:00pm and then crashed.  I will miss this part of Japan when we leave.

Hamazushi for lunch!
