SAKURA!



So, usually when I mention Sakura, I am speaking of the dog, However, this time I am talking about the namesake. It is Cherry Blossom season (SAKURA)!
We have had a beautiful Cherry Blossom season. It seems to be lasting longer than previous years. The kids and Kevin and I have had a ball taking pictures at some of the local tourist sights.
Earlier this past week, my friend and I hiked up the mountain to the Castle (above). It is such a beautiful place. We picked what appeared to be a great day, but by the time we reached the top it was freezing and raining. We were not really prepared for this! It apparently snowed in Hiroshima that morning! Who would have thought! Anyway, we had fun and the kids got to have Japanese corndogs when we got back down to the bottom. We did eat them in the rain though!
