Weekend Activities

Well, we are coming down to the wire now. We have 9 more days in Okinawa, 4 days in Tokyo, and 1 1/2 days on an airplane! Thursday night we had dinner with a few of Greg's co-workers and this little hole in the wall place. It was a quaint family owned place that served probably the best food we have eaten since we have been here. Brady even behaved himself while he ate. The problem is that when he is done, he thinks we should be done too! Greg took the first shift taking care of him and I took the second shift chasing him around. It is a good thing he is a rock star here because everyone in the restaurant loved him. The cook even came out to see him and hold him for a little while! We are going to be in shock when we come home and no longer receive any recognition. Saturday we thought Greg had a battleground tour, so he got up and left early to meet the bus. Unfortunately, the tour was for Sunday! We just lounged around and Saturday afternoon we went to Kokosai Street which is just like a street in New York. It was lined with all kinds of trinket shops, jewelry stores, bakeries, and restaurants. We were walking along minding our own business when out of the blue an old grandma started walking with us. She kept asking how old Brady was and trying to shake his hand. She was very sweet and I thought we might have a permanent guest walking along with us. We tried to get her picture with Brady and she said "no, no, no" and walked away. What I got out of that was that she did not want to have her picture taken, so we lost our grandma! Sunday Greg had a good time on his tour and I'll have him blog about his experience. Brady and I had a typical day here at the room. The fun for me came Sunday night. I went to a spa and had a treatment by the "Doctor Fish." This was the craziest experience! There was a tub filled with warm water and you put your feet down amongst the fish. It felt like tiny vibrations on my feet when the fish were eating the dead skin cells off. It even tickled a little bit! There was a man across from me that had at least half of the fish on his feet... I'm glad my feet weren't that bad! Today Greg came to pick me and Brady up to eat lunch with him and some different co-workers. We went to this fun ramen noodle place and I really should have taken a picture of Brady eating those noodles! Poor kid, we just have fun watching him having new experiences and many times he is the best entertainment around (except in the playroom where he is over all the toys, so he sits and connects/ disconnects the belt on a baby bouncer seat)!
