Around the first of October we went to a park about the size of Kings Island that was once built for a World Expo in 2005. Scott's first trip to Japan was in 2005 (we didn't even know each other then) and he went to the Expo while it was happening. He said it was really neat. They constructed huge buildings knowing that they would be demolished after the Expo was over, but the park still remains and has different things to see and do. ie: An indoor water park, an ice rink, a Tea House with beautiful gardens surrounding, an indoor children's activity center, and much more. It was free to get in and worth every penny saved!
This was taken from the Expo 2005 Aichi Japan website, just a little description of what the Expo was all about.
"The EXPO gave visitors a chance to experience at first-hand the leading-edge technologies, new social systems and future lifestyles that may provide solutions to the many serious issues now facing the entire world. This was also an opportunity for people from all nations to share their varied insights and unique approaches, and to lay the foundations for working together on a global scale."
The indoor children's activity center (just a small portion of it)
Carter loved the pit full of wooden balls
And playing blocks with Daddy
