日本に行ってきました。本当は今年はおとなしくシアトルで夏を過ごすつもりだったのだけど、
両親、兄が4月に遊びに来て、ホームシックに。ちょっといろいろ考えすぎた一年だったから、
疲れてしまって日本にどうしても帰りたくなったのです。
行ってよかった。
We visited Japan this summer again! It was a short decision since I got a homesick. My parents and brother came visit us in April for only 5 days, that made me so homesick. I had been too worried everything last couple of years, too busy schedule, rough time for me. I really wanted to go back to Japan. And I and the kids did, and it was a great! I needed it.
子供たちは念願のディズニーランドへ。
The kids got go to Tokyo Disney land for first time. Thanks to my mom, she came with us even she doesn't care about Disney at all.

| 喜音の最後の日本の食事はきつねうどん。うどんがほしかった、喜音のためにママは行きたかったレストランを断念。。なんていい母親。（涙） Last supper in Japan for Yukine. Kitsune Udon. |
家族の大切さ、ありがたさ、愛情をまた一層感じた、そんな今年の日本行きでした。
もちろん、会いに来てくれたお友達、地元で会えた友達、みんな会ったら変わってなくて、
それもとってもうれしかった。
また来年、いけますように。。。。
Six weeks went by so fast... I knew it before I went tho. We didn't go to Kyoto that we used live. It was too bad, but on the other hand, we could have a wonderful time with my family. I could spend lots of time with my mom, talking about family, went shopping, went to cafe for tea.... It was so great. I really needed it.
Of course, lots of our wonderful friends visited us, spent great time with them. I really appreciated.
I hope we can come back again next year....( Tho, I also want to enjoy such a short summer in Seattle.)
