The flower 'bed' on the right was so pretty... I got a few pictures of it. (:

Atami | |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fusako is really great. She was going to take us to Hakone, but we got snowed out! So we made a quick | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| change of plans, and went to Atami instead! It is a well-known summer resort city, with lots of hot spring baths! (: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| We parked the cars, then walked along the docks to a flower festival. It was really pretty; we got to see many different flowers and plants there. It was a little chilly, though! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| These boats were so skinny! I wonder why...? The flower 'bed' on the right was so pretty... I got a few pictures of it. (: |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Group shot! This was in the flower festival, and everyone that joined us is there (except me, I'm taking the picture! ha!). From right to left, there's my aunt, Yoriko-san, Fusako, my mom, Fujiko-san, and Yasuko-san. (: We headed to our hotel soon after this. (Circled in the picture below.) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| It was a very nice place! We were asked to choose our yukata right after we checked it. A yukata is a light kimono, in a way, that is used for a bathrobe or worn to summer festivals. (: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| So we went up to our rooms and chatted for a while before we decided to head to the bath. Japanese hot springs are WONDERFUL, if you haven't tried one! Sure it was a little odd to be nude with a bunch of other strange women, but you soon forget that. (: The water was so nice... and we even had a 5th-story view of the bay! It felt really great to soak in that water... After that relaxing bath, we got ready for dinner. We asked our waiter to take the shot below! (: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (Does my hair look extra-shiny?? I used this AWESOME coal shampoo and conditioner in the bath! It was so great I bought some at the hotel shop to take home!!) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Here are some shots of our room. (: It was nice to sleep on a bed again, though it was a little stiff. (: Our view was great, too!! And, we hardly used the bathroom, since we had the hotel spa! We took another bath in the morning, before we said goodbye... (: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Well, those were the most exciting pictures I had from their visit! I had a really great time.. I got refreshed for work again! (I needed that BAD.) Hope you enjoyed checking out our spring break! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
