Years, that is!
Today is the day we celebrate our first year on Okinawa. We kept it low key, since we had been busy all weekend with various activities. Dinner was Romano's Macaroni Grill on the Marine Base.
While waiting for a table Lyle raced the kids to the top of this hill. He said the view was amazing, but I was content down at the bottom :)
While eating dinner we talked about our favorites here, what we missed from the states (and what we didn't!) The general consensus was Family Mart, the Aquarium and Okuma were our favorites. We miss the ease of Walmart, the variety of inexpensive produce, and being close to family. We don't miss the blizzards(sorry GF) and the general rudeness of people.
We know that the next year is going to be just as busy as the last: Chris is taking driver's education (be glad we are an ocean away!), Grandpa Dave is coming for a visit, we are planning on visiting Tokyo in addition to the multitude of sights we have yet to experience here and there are more fun foods and drinks to test!
See you all tomorrow!
****There were supposed to be a couple of pictures here, but Blogger isn't cooperating. I will try adding the pics again tomorrow.
