Thanksgiving 2015

This week went by fast with work because of the long weekend.  Some highlights from Thanksgiving include going to Yokosuka with the Randall family, running the base turkey trot, bike riding around town and church on Sunday.

Robot Restaurant

Anytime we go to Tokyo, we find overload sensory experiences.  This week did not disappoint as Hoai My went on a girl's night out with Katie and McCall to the Robot Restaurant.  

This is a must for those who visit us, if for nothing except to see how over the top entertainment is in Japan.

The Switchfoot Week

The week ending November 15, 2015 was buzzing on base as people were talking about the concert Friday night.  We had no idea who Switchfoot is.  We knew we wanted to go to the concert giving in to 1-nothing else to do 2-it's free and 3-peer pressure.  We started to brush up on our Switchfoot the day of the concert listening to their music on Youtube.  To our delight, they are awesome.  The concert was absolutely amazing.  It was held at Trilogy, which is a small venue.  It was full of families and very personal.  Often, the band came down from stage, walked and sang among the crowd.  One band member paid an awesome tribute to the military, particularly, the Navy.   Greg took a video of one instance when they came down and sang and I was right behind them.  Excuse my lunatic fan facial expression.

As if Friday wasn't fun enough, Saturday was my school's staff Thanksgiving potluck.  We ate like pigs!

Until next week, Sayonara.

Week ending November 7, 2015 - Mt. Nikko Autumn Hike

This week ended with a trip through MWR to Mt. Nikko.
This trip was a 4 hour bus ride from Atsugi NAF.  The pictures once again does not do justice to how beautiful this visit was.  We also could have spent days there and not explored all the different trails and points of interest.  On this trip, 2 fellow teachers went and it was great fun to be with them - Ms. McCarthy and Roddie.
