This adventure from the Thomas Trip deserves its own post....
I had this great idea to visit Kamakura, home of the world's largest Buddha statue. I did the research and found the phone number to plug into our van's navigation system. Plug it in and away we go. Glenn kept saying, "this does not seem right... this is taking us towards the airport." I assured him it was right and to keep going. After an hour, our navigation announced, "YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT YOUR DESTINATION"... uhhhhh, we were in the middle of nowhere, at a deserted business called PUB SNACK. I started to cry in disappointment and frustration. However, Glenn saved the day... he jumped out of the car and acted like this was all on purpose.... of course we planned to visit Pub Snack. With excitement he shouted, "break out the camera and lets take pictures!!!" I finally could laugh a little, but was still so disappointed.
Then Glenn lead us in a game of SIMON SAYS
trying to keep things light and fun
What is so amazing is that this "mistake" ended up being the favorite part of Michelle and Dallin's Tokyo Trip. After Simon Says, Glenn lead us to a nearby temple and garden called:
DAIHONZAN NARITASAN SHINSHOJI TEMPLE
I took a picture of this SQUATTY POTTY (that is what us Westerners call them)
This is a Japanese toilet that women and men use... it is NOT women friendly....
women are not designed to pee in such a fashion... messy, messy, messy
Not knowing that in the men's restroom, Glenn was taking this picture of Dallin with his cell phone...
GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE
See all of the old signs and art work? Wish I could take a piece or two home...
Can you spy the TURTLES on the TURTLE?
The End of a fabulous day, all thanks to my true love, GLENN

OK -- there is is!!! Go Dallin!
ha ha ha! Love the "potty" shots. Great minds think alike? LOL I have to say, that is a true talent of Glenn's. (not the potty part. hee hee) He is very good at changing a situation into a good one. He has GREAT patience when it comes to this stuff, I think. It's like when the kids are OUT of control, he usually steps in and changes the chaos to controlled CALM play. Way to go Glenn for a fabulous day! And, that he took you to a cool spot you weren't even planning on going! Nice!!
