Time for Kobe
we are awaiting for the chef
time to appreciate the surroundings
vegetables
giving Aiden a little phone time
First course
the different meats
Chef did not recommend the fattiest meat
I agree that too much fat doesn’t give the best taste
the good thing about eating small portion is you don’t get sick of it.
it fact, it makes you want more.
soup
roasted veggies
soup on the house for Aiden
Foie gras
salad
food to share
everyone got a taste of all meats because chef misunderstood Galen
Even Aiden tasted all the varieties of meat
cut it up smaller and with a little sauce
Aiden had more than me
fruit
night time snack
omakase for Daddy and Grandpa
many interesting texture and taste
sushi was rather fresh
Mommy went for the eel bowl
fish
sushi time
last part of the meal
Aiden fun time
so different from last year
running around freely
no need to push him or try to motivate him
he is jumping around and flying all about
Whee!
jumping as high as he can
is this due to his tumbling class?
or does it just come with age?
the funny thing is, back in the States he is much more reserved
fits right in
whoops
but no fear – gets right back up and keeps on going
so free!
getting some physical exercise here
can’t keep up with him
last time he wouldn’t even slide down
makes me wanna be a kid again
used so much energy, need to do some sit down fun
can you find Aiden?
looks like Aiden found Grandpa
yes, back for more
i wonder what was going through his head
looks so relaxed
Before the fun ends we went for another round of night time snacks
what to have first?
Pistachio Macarons from Hermes
Last rounds of photos at the hotel
Family pic
Thanks Grandma for helping us take some pics
We had left some receipts in an envelope at the restaurant at the hotel
they did not throw it away
and kept it at their reception area for us
they even had the supervisor run from the back to the reception area to hand me the envelope
So nice! love that customer service!
and as you can tell from the smiles in the photo, some pretty satisfied tourists here
overflowing with happiness
vacation went by so quickly
it will be a while before we can go back to Japan
I can’t wait until we can go again next time, and next time with another
