I’m taking a trip down memory lane today and finally documenting the trip Kyle and I took to Japan in May of 2018! When we came back from that trip, I hadn’t planned on blogging about it. I’m not sure why, but I never got around to it. So here I am, a year and a half after this trip, finally deciding to document what I can remember. I’m going to do this one a little bit differently since the details are not as fresh in my mind, so this one will be more of a photo diary with some commentary 🙂
Day 1 – Tokyo
Our Japanese diner breakfast – rice, eggs, miso soup, natto (not pictured – Kyle ate mine because it looked scary and he is far more adventurous than I am)Japanese-style Dance Dance Revolution – similar to normal DDR except you have to follow the dance moves by stepping in the right region of the floor rather than stepping on specific panelsKyle and I both picked bad fortunes 😦Senso-ji TempleSenso-ji TempleSenso-ji TempleFrank Lloyd Wright houseVirtual Reality Mario Kart – soooo fun!
