Summer Memories with Chuba and Aunt Chieko 2019

Peace Arch: Canada šŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦ boarder

The Butchart gardens in Victoria B.C 




I know the timeline is messed up but I definitely wanted to write this memory here so bear with me. At least, I have some more energy this year to write new posts in this blog so could have been worse. That also tells me that the kids got older and more they grow, more we have free time lately.

Anyway! Grandma Kirino AKA chu-ba came visit us with her older sister aunt Chieko this summer in July. Main reason was that Chu-ba wanted to show aunt Chieko Canada this time, especially Victoria B.C. Originally my brother Toshiya, was also planning to come, but he’d got a big commitment at his job and he could take day offs. Alas, Japanese salary man... we booked hotels back in January before he knew he couldn’t make it this trip. Despite that unfortunate, we had great time in Canada! On the first day, per chu-ba’s request and as tradition, we stayed at Casino hotel. Brittain and the kids spent time at the pool and the ladies tasted the casino atmosphere. Both chu-ba and Aunt Chieko are patrons of pachinko (Japanese game machines kind of like pinball games) so they enjoyed the casino here, even though they didn’t understand what’s going on because they can’t read any instructions. I, on the other hand, hardly played those games over there or here, BUT odd enough, I won the slot about 100 Canadian dollars! So I treated breakfast for everyone next day :) it worked perfectly! Next day we stayed near Vancouver downtown. We went to Capilano suspension bridge and Granville island. I
was a bit surprised that chu-ba decided to go to the bridge, because she never liked heights or those scary things. She said she had to have any new experience before she dies. She is a tough woman! On. The third day, we took ferry to Victoria. I always enjoy Victoria. Many flowers, beautiful European style of buildings, and lots kind of different yummy food! This was maybe 4th time in Victoria for me? But we went to The Butcher’s Garden the first time. It’s expensive but it’s worthwhile! Man! Beautiful! Breathtaking amazing gardens there. They were just beautiful!
It was a quick 4 days trip but so much fun! Other thing that aunt Chieko loved in the United States? Thrift stores! Lol They almost lived there. They certainly visited every one of thrift stores in our neighborhood. :D

Annndddd, Chu-ba came alone again in August! I begged her to come and stay longer because we couldn’t spend time much together last time she was here. I really really appreciate her generosity to come again. She did A LOT to us: making food, cleaning house, and cleaning yard (by the way, aunt Chieko also worked our yard, even tho she stayed only 10 days...Japanese people, you guys are working too hard!)
