We arrived in Japan just in time to take in the breathtaking beauty of the famous cherry blossoms. (Somehow these pictures that I thought were lost on my camera re-appeared.) You never know when these blossoms will be at their peak, which only last a few days depending on the weather. I think Spring will be my favorite time of year here in Tokyo. Even though it was cool and windy, we were able to get out on a Saturday with the boys and explore around on our bikes. We found a little river by us that is lined for miles with these beautiful trees; a perfect place for a Pizza Hut picnic (a family favorite for a splurge). You can also see the huge Carp kites flying for Children's Day.
