Cherry Blossoms

 

The Cherry Blossoms are in full bloom right now & they are BEAUTIFUL!!!

 

 

 

 

 

We decided to drive across Japan to the Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival. It was a beautiful day and the trees were amazing!!

 

 

 

Sydney & Daddy in front of the Castle.

 

 

 

We found out the Castle is going to be take apart for renovations later this month and you won't be able to see it again for 10 years. So, we decided we needed to get back over there and see the Hirosaki Castle with the Cherry Blossoms before it's too late.

 

 

 

Tons of vendors selling all kinds of things to eat.

 

 

Giant Prawns.

 

 

Octopus tentacles on a stick.

 

 

I dared Dan to try this. Not knowing what it was and seeing everyone enjoying it, I thought we should try it.

 

 

.....deciding if it's good or not.

 

 

.....yea, it's pretty good!

 

 

 

SO, we all wanted to try. And was it good? NO! No, he's a big fat liar! Just said it to make us try it as well. YUCK!!!

It's called Oden, and it tastes fishy, but has the consistency of Jello. Nasty-ness!!

 

 

But we finished off the day with some VERY yummy Apple Ice Cream.
