Sushi-Go Round

Amber, Autum and I went to the Sushi-Go Round this morning for lunch we left Kayleigh at Jane's so she got to play with Anna. We tried different types of food and it was a neat experience for us. Below he is making the Sushi Roll

Here plates come right by your table continuously and if you see something you like you can take it. The girls loved this part.

Autum trying the Seaweed she said she liked it but I don't think she did.

Me eating the American Roll I am a very picky eater and I ate the rice and crab meat didn't care for the seaweed.

Amber trying the Corn Mayo had corn,mayo,rice and put into seaweed, she didn't care for it too much.

Autum trying the Crab Stick Mayo it had Crab,mayo,rice and seaweed, she said she liked it.

this is the Crab Stick Mayo

Corn Mayo

This is the American Roll was good it has Rice,Crab Meat and Cucumber wrapped in Seaweed.

This is the American Menu has what you are eating in English our Japanese Waitress brought this to us, also you don't tip in Japan it is considered an insult to them if you do.

Back side of the Menu

Outside of the Sushi-Go Round most of the plates here are 105 yen :)

Seicho-No-Ie-Sohonzan

This is the Shrine information Teena was able to find out for me :) Seicho-No-Ie Sohonzan. It is new religious movement

The girls and I stopped by a Shrine it had a huge Tori Gate along side the road so we went in and took a look I don't know much about the Shrine I did ask the gentleman inside but couldn't understand the responds. At least I was able to ask right :) It is a really beautiful place and we will be taking Tony there once he gets off ship.
This leads down towards the Shrine

Love this picture of Kayleigh and Amber, Kayleigh would not sit beside her but she sat behind her.

Hard to believe she is 13 years old, time as flown by so fast, Its been wonderful watching her grow up.

Autum in front of the Bridge this was a really nice spot for photos

Love this picture of Kayleigh she loves getting up and down the steps by herself.

Another amazing shot I loved this section of the Shrine

Amber beside the water

Kayleigh looking out at all the fish there were some really colorful fish

Bio-Park Day 2

Today the girls and I went to Nagasaki Bio-Park we have season passes there. We had gone before with the Barnes Family but it had rained so we didn't get to see everything. This park is very hands on as you will see in the pictures the girls loved every minute of it. Each animal has it's own food you can feed them they have vending machines with food at each section and you can get them for 100 yen. I probably spent 1000 yen on food today for the animals but watching the girls feed them was so worth it. We got to the park at about 930 this morning and we found out that we could feed the larger animals at different times throughout the day, this only happens on Sundays and Holidays so we got to feed the Hippos. We left the park at about 1230 so we spent a good bit of time at the park this morning. Bio-Park is over 300,000 square meters. There saying is "looking over the fence is not fun. Touch, feel, and you'll learn a lot.
We ate here they served old fashioned American Burgers we just got nuggets and fries it was really good. This was Saikai Burger.

After we went through the Park we stopped for lunch

Kayleigh being Kayleigh I guess she is at that stage when you say cheese you never know what she will do.

Kayleigh got to feed the Hippo it was feeding time and if you paid 100 yen they gave you food so Kayleigh and Autum both feed the hippo Kayleigh kept wanting to take little pieces off and feed him she didn't understand he could eat the whole thing at once.

This is Autum helping Kayleigh with the food for the Hippo

Amber with the Monkeys they went back through this was their 2nd time going through the 1st time I think they were caught off guard with the monkeys actually trying to get on them. There were no zoo keepers in this area the monkeys could get on you at any moment.

Autum with the Mama Monkey and the Baby Monkey

When you go in to see the Monkeys they are waiting on you they jumped on Autum and the Stroller this was after Kayleigh and I ran through it yes i left Autum lol they followed her all the way through.

Amber feeding the Wallaby

Autum feeding the Wallaby the Bio -park was very hands on the girls loved it especially Amber and Autum

The girls in front of the Giraffe this Giraffe was the younger one still very very tall.

I think i created a monster with Kayleigh she posing automatically now and makes faces especially with her tongue when she doesn't want to cooperate

The girls posing for a quick picture

Amber being a great big sister and helping Kayleigh feed the animals they were really hungry

Kayleigh on her way to feed the Raccoons I love this picture you can tell in her face she is very excited.

They got up close and personal with Autum she loved it though after each section there were places to wash your hands the girls did a great job of keeping up with that especially Kayleigh she loves to be clean she kept saying "icky mommy icky"

Amber holding Kayleigh and feeding the animals

Kayleigh was scared of the animal can't remember the name but they were friendly she just didn't like them :)

I love this picture of the girls this was in front of the Rhino exhibit

Kayleigh is using the Slingshot to get food to the coatimundi (coati)

The girls using the slingshots to get food to the Monkeys, Autum was being a great big sister and helping Kayleigh

Here Amber is feeding the Flamingos it amazes me that they eat right out of their hands.

Here Autum is taking a turn she had sat at another spot for a couple of minutes and they wouldn't come up to her so she thought she would feed the same one Amber had been feeding.

Carnival Buffet

Today Kayleigh and I met Stacy and Teena for lunch at Carnival Buffet the food there was pretty good I ate an Egg roll that was really good tried some noodle thing but didn't like it too well also had some really good rice, then for dessert tried cream muffin I think that is what it was called it was good anyway. I had a hard time getting Coke out of the fountain but Teena was able to come through and found the correct way to work the machine. Stacy was on our flight from Tokyo to Fukuoka and I met Teena through facebook. I hope to catch up with them again next week maybe try out some shopping here in Japan.


This is what I call the Bunny store I get some of Kayleigh's clothes here it is a neat store.

This is where I met the girls at Carnival Buffet Kayleigh was able to get French Fries!!!

Teena, Kayleigh and I at Carnival Buffet Kayleigh had to get in this picture, isn't she adorable. Teena has been giving us directions to places we want to go. She is a great source of information Stacy calls her the walking encyclopedia she is right on with the nick name.

Stacy and I she has two boys the oldest goes to E.J. King like Amber does we both are going to try and head to Nagasaki this weekend so we might run into each other :) I had a great time with them at lunch and look forward to many more outings with each of them.
