This time, we went to my mother's hometown to visit the cemetery. We met my aunt and cousin from Tokyo there. My parents took us to where my grandparents used to take me and sister and cousins. I felt so blessed to be united with my relatives there again.
冷たくて気持ちいい~。 Woo, it's cold and feels good.
大喜びのエマ。「ぴょんぴょ~ん」 o(^▽^)o Very excited. Boing, Boing~!


喜びのあまり、ガニ股ポーズ!So happy that my legs are bowlegged!!
ちょっと美しげなショット :) Pretend beautiful shot :)
After the shower, I went into a men's bathroom. I had to scream at what I happened to see but I won't give you an detail :) On our way to Toba, we stopped by at my grandmother's favorite sweets head store by the Ise Shrine. It is a mochi covered by sweet bean paste. I didn't necessarily like the sweets but it was sentimental so I ate 3; 2 were leftovers from Emma and Lydia who normally love sweets. We sat on the piazza viewing a beautiful river down below.
父が「いい景色見したろ」とスカイラインを通ってくれました。道が曲がりくねっているのでちょっと酔いながらも、山のすぐ下は島々と海~!というちょっと都会の大阪や神戸とはまた違う、濃い緑とかすんだ青のすっきりした景色でした。
My dad drove through a scenic highway. It was a winding road on a hill, so we got a little sick but we could see many small islands and ocean surrounding green hills. It was different from the views I had seen in cities. It was simply beautiful with deep green and hazy blue sea.

このスカイラインの後すぐに鳥羽の旅館「扇芳閣」につきました。Soon after the scenic highway, we arrived at a large Japanese-style hotel.
部屋からの景色。The view from our room.
リンリンはどこを見ているのでしょうか。とてもあどけない1歳。Where is Lydia looking at? This 1 year old is so innocent.
お、いました、いました、つるつる美肌の3歳が(笑)Oh, here is the 3 year old with the beautiful skin :)
In the morning, we participated in the traditional group exercise at the open-air school in the back. This open-air school had 5,000 killifish, books, wind mills, water mills, spa eggs, fossil replica making class, abacus, wooden toys, piano, and foot spa. If you have curious children, this hotel "Senhoukaku" is recommended.
チェックアウトの後はシャトルバスで3分の鳥羽水族館へ。After the check-out, the hotel staff took us to the famous aquarium. It's only 3 minutes away.
なかなかじっくり観察中。真珠の大御所ミキモトパールにも寄るはずでしたが、鳥羽水族館で1日過ごせてしまいました。海遊館を想像してたのですが、ここはもう一段格が上という感じで、アシカ、ペリカン、ペンギン、セイウチショーやトドのえさやりなど色んなショータイムが一日中あり、大きなカフェテリアもあるし、屋内の生き物、屋外の生き物が広ーい敷地に種類多くいました。
Studying the beaver hard... We were planning to go to the biggest company that sold pearls, but we ran out of time at the Toba Aquarium. It was larger than the Osaka Aquarium. It had many shows all day with seals, sea lions, pelicans, penguins, and walruses. There was a large cafeteria which didn't exist in the Osaka Aquarium. Since the location was large, they kept wide varieties of indoor and outdoor marine animals.
