Misawa, Day Four


On Sunday, we took a quick trip out to the Tonami Clan Memorial Tourist Village. It's a park, historic farm, and museum, all in one. We let the kids run around and enjoyed the flowers. The daffodils were in full bloom!

Grandpa and Adam loved driving the go cart. Adam especially liked to go fast.

After we had already bought the ticket to ride the pony, they informed us that Adam was too small to ride the pony. This, after the go cart operators were perfectly willing to let the two year old drive the go cart by himself. Oh well. We managed to talk them into letting him sit on the pony to have his picture taken.

Lottie enjoyed the playground.

There was a lone cherry tree, but it was beautiful. Guess the snow hadn't killed all the blossoms.

Adam and Lottie had to sit on the horse statues before we left. Then we had to run back to Outdoor Rec to return our van before heading back to Tokyo on the train. It was fun to see where the grandparents had lived (long, long ago, ha ha), and we were amazed that some of the buildings were still there. The grandparents agreed that Misawa is very different now (almost everything off-post had changed), but we had a great time.
