Our trip to Japan was a blast. We took a train to Busan (Korea), a ferry ride over to Fukuoka, and a train ride to Kobe. All in one day. Stayed in Kobe 2 nights, sightseeing and visiting my nephew Daryl on his mission. Then took the train to Hiroshima where we stayed one night. The Hiroshima Peace Park Museum and Memorial were AMAZING and definitely a place we recommend anyone to go visit. Then we took the train back to Fukuoka where we stayed one night. We stayed there out of convenience to catch an early ferry ride back to Korea, but ended up being a fantastic tourist place with lots to see. We're so glad we decided to stay there our last night. Then a ferry ride and train ride home. We had fun, but it always feels good to be home. For more than 100 pics, check out my facebook page. Here's some of my favorites (sorry the Fukuoka ones got chopped off of the page):

WOW. What amazing stuff.
I love the robes!
Very cool. I guess I didn't realize Daryl was there. How fun that you got to see him!
