Roppongi
From left to right: Jamison, Marc, MaxMax asked us back in October if we could do something special for Spring break...like...take he and his friends to Tokyo. Each of us have had our own personal connections with this city and decided it would be a great trip for all.
I think to appreciate the expansive nature of Tokyo you need to climb as high as possible, so we took the boys to Roppongi to the top of Mori Tower. Not only is the view fantastic, but you will also find the Mori Art Museum occupying the 53rd floor.
Imperial Gardens
Even though I have visited the Imperial gardens on three previous trips, I somehow completely missed the MOST IMPORTANT section of gardens open to the public. We went in search of "cherry blossom island" but found this beautiful expanse of lawn on the Northern end of the palace. Sofia had a blast running around and after I tired of chasing her, Max took a turn. It was a nice place to catch our breath after waking so early for our Tsukiji fish market experience.

In search of...
...a park, we found this shrine. On our last day I ventured out with Sofia to find a place for her to run around safely before taking the 2 hour bus ride to Narita airport. I found a swing set and a jungle-gym with this shrine in the background, what a pleasant surprise!
