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!</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br />This was taken from the Expo 2005 Aichi Japan website, just a little description of what the Expo was all about. </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">"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.

I'm not sure of how long it took us to get there, but I'd say a solid hour. The park was just ok. They don't seem to have playground equipment in park here. Children must just have to make up their own fun and run with it. It was a nice walk none the less and Carter seemed to really enjoy having the open space to walk and attempt to run. :)</span></span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline;

Her name is Dirsa (Deer-sa) Smith and her husband is Robert Smith. He works in Safety with Kara Yde. They have 2 girls, one is 12 and the other is 4 and are both in school here, and an 18 month old boy. We've only chatted via email and Facebook, but it's so nice knowing there's another wife out there that is looking to be friends with any other American around. (I'm not desperate or anything! Ha!) And such a small world because when I did a search for her on FB, I found that we share two mutual friends. They are two of my neighbors, one living right behind us, the Lozen family. I just think that's crazy! So, hopefully we'll be able to meet up soon. We plan to get together this weekend at their place. :)</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Yesterday, Scott, Carter and I packed up and traveled to Nagoya by train. It was very hectic carting Carter around and all of his things, but an adventure none the less. We got a late start, so we didn't get to see all that we wanted to see, the Nagoya castle, more of the city, etc., but it was so much fun.</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);

We went up in the TV Tower (like the Eiffel Tower at Kings Island, but maybe a smidge taller), so we could see all of the city and just how big it is. The tower is in a park, like that of Central Park in NYC. It's a beautiful place with lots of little cafes to eat at and fountains. A great place to take pictures!</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);

I had the prime rib with mashed potatoes, green beans, a caesar salad, and THE BEST bottle of Coors Light I've ever had in my entire life. It was a $7 bottle of beer, but it was sooooo good. Carter and Scott both had burgers. The bill came to $62.00, so it def won't be an every weekend kind of place to eat, but it was nice to have a nice meal to kind of celebrate making it through our first week here. Hopefully we can go back and do it again right before we leave.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5i_pGncD115LyAHUMfxglr8qLBRYvX4E6U8Bj9Amh16GQ43YVyoM1OTX3FZ6ys6lVamTleXfMlA1dm7HWNBJl0eoqzseAfv3TD5adnhtCWRcSHtLDUC9FscmvqWPlxYLfWsCadtidfK9r/s320/Britt+drinking+beer+at+Outback+1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521420727348750722" style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 229px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuZnnKZlDvFth2mZr0ohDj3qo5gRua-AN4s9OIBKjoikS8Ysv5pNT6weyyH0GMx4P78ijXYtX0pcRt8VpctuK1Jwkx1C3OIN_wo0op125ofyF1IpSWi0QCFUuCltx8H3w9nZFiIUEsnqag/s320/Britt's+Outback+dinner.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521424062552742642" style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 229px; " /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">After dinner, we visited a store called Loft.

I just wanted to jot down a few things that he's doing, so I don't forget. We did not do an 18 month check up before we left because he wouldn't of been able to get his shots yet, so December it is to cover probably 2 different well baby visits.

It's loud and colorful and fun, and Carter LOVES it there. There are a ton of Japanese mothers and young children. My plan is to visit there at least a few times a week in hopes of finding an American or English speaking Japanese woman. It would be so nice to have someone here to do things and explore with. At any rate, enjoying Carter run around and have fun will have to do for now.

The bus ride form the airport to our hotel was an hour and was brutal because we were all soooooo tired.

Two twin beds and just enough room left for a crib for Carter to sleep in. And we had a nice view of Toyota City. We were in bed, lights out at 10pm and Carter woke us up at 2am. We were up with him until 5 and then laid him back down hoping he would fall back to sleep. He did and slept until 8. (Mommy and Daddy were very happy about this as we were NOT ready to be awake yet!) We got up and had breakfast downstairs in the hotel. That was interesting for Carter and myself. I was starting to get worried because the last time Carter had a meal was dinner on the flight at about 6pm Friday night. It's now breakfast time Sunday morning. :-/</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDMoT2rTWx-ETgKZg50-YpYFc8YLnf0i6yU0-Tyv38x04rxYZZBYnpztuDDFL4LTYGwxPejBNcitsGgC2xOJhXJZT2ZzppZmxFQ0cDzR-iIBaqRA94AgZCLZvupPhMxfNVts1c0nGgKHFQ/s1600/Hotel+view+1.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDMoT2rTWx-ETgKZg50-YpYFc8YLnf0i6yU0-Tyv38x04rxYZZBYnpztuDDFL4LTYGwxPejBNcitsGgC2xOJhXJZT2ZzppZmxFQ0cDzR-iIBaqRA94AgZCLZvupPhMxfNVts1c0nGgKHFQ/s320/Hotel+view+1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519913229720611298" style="text-align: left; display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 229px; " /></a></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8U0_eoJHe0SjpyX1OsJB-U94q4vC5JuttWUQHR2PjEzmlCgGeUMGEFcaGsZeV3xH1hyphenhyphenvd7jD_S0824swKlE4dvpQI2lMvLsOIflrA8MFKpJBcQ3Wlx2cdkPbMRMJg252JCXpSi2XAkE3X/s1600/Hotel+view+3.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8U0_eoJHe0SjpyX1OsJB-U94q4vC5JuttWUQHR2PjEzmlCgGeUMGEFcaGsZeV3xH1hyphenhyphenvd7jD_S0824swKlE4dvpQI2lMvLsOIflrA8MFKpJBcQ3Wlx2cdkPbMRMJg252JCXpSi2XAkE3X/s320/Hotel+view+3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519913247326790674" style="text-align: left; display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 229px; " /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ5oz4_LYD6cnIc2xSVe0qFKVkIwgZgBelFJ-7yijxMVtxuXb28OerFOQEvGzu1kwUxmFCBywyuS3OabJtrTayRzWc5stZTBdxu1Slo8QfKX4uLQ0_a4h5211SyrNyZ5a0BHB-O1VXNaXQ/s1600/Hotel+view+2.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ5oz4_LYD6cnIc2xSVe0qFKVkIwgZgBelFJ-7yijxMVtxuXb28OerFOQEvGzu1kwUxmFCBywyuS3OabJtrTayRzWc5stZTBdxu1Slo8QfKX4uLQ0_a4h5211SyrNyZ5a0BHB-O1VXNaXQ/s320/Hotel+view+2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519913242263333826" style="text-align: left; display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 229px; " /></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjok6QgVzEuJSgRm1EMcB_30baX34DSiZMpxPZJwYbFjC6C0BbBHPr79YHabXcO0jZruwFS8v4xxZD4R_oGJ-_Sw8daDSkc8FIouij07SXfLB9W69ryCcdfaV7oyLYazyMfyiyLyKShWzcA/s1600/View+of+trains+from+hotel.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjok6QgVzEuJSgRm1EMcB_30baX34DSiZMpxPZJwYbFjC6C0BbBHPr79YHabXcO0jZruwFS8v4xxZD4R_oGJ-_Sw8daDSkc8FIouij07SXfLB9W69ryCcdfaV7oyLYazyMfyiyLyKShWzcA/s320/View+of+trains+from+hotel.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519913257770843474" style="text-align: left; display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 229px; " /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">After we ate (well, kind of ate) and checked out of the hotel, we walked to our apartment to check in there. Pretty nice apartment! Alot nicer and cleaner than I expected. We unpacked a few things while Carter played for a bit and then left to walk to a grocery for a few things. It was a long walk, about 30 minutes, and was no fun. I started feeling the effects of not eating and I was having random crying meltdowns because I didn't want to eat but was so hungry and Carter still hadn't eaten. I was a mess, so we came back home and I laid down for a bit.</span></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline;

He is eating his meals and actually asking to eat by going to his high chair himself and is sleeping through the night now (about 6:30pm-7am). He loves taking walks and looking around, watching people. I know this because he also climbs in his stroller all by himself and tried to strap himself in. Haha, they are funny creatures! His favorite thing to watch are the trains that pass by outside our balcony door. We don't let him stand on the sofa, but it's the only way he can see the trains pass. So, he climbs up, watches, points, and yells in an excited tone, "G-Gock, G-Gock!" Sounds retarded, right? Ha, so we're trying to teach him to say choo-choo instead.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline;

This was our first time up north during a summer month and it was absolutely STUNNING! I've never seen water so crystal clear and blue. Scott and I went to Jamaica for our honeymoon and the water at Lake Leland and Lake Michigan surpass the beauty of Jamaican waters. I can't wait to start a tradition of going there for family vacations in the future. We had the best time!!! A big thank you to the O'Neal family for having us stay in their new, beautiful lake house and boat us around to see all of Lake Leland. It was one of the prettiest places I've ever been!!!</span></span></div><div><div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline;

It was held at our house August 21st at 3pm. She spent so much time making purchases, shopping, and preparing food for this party and it all turned out great. Thank you so much Sarah and John! We'll miss you while we're away and are looking forward to seeing you upon our return to the states. And thank you to all of our other friends and family who took time out of their busy schedule to make an appearance.

One that could capture great images and maybe help start my photography back up when we got back to the states. I asked around and did some research and decided on the Canon Rebel T1i. It's a digital SLR and had great reviews all around.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Well, we just got it last Wednesday and I LOVE it!! I've already captured some great images, mostly of Carter, but great none the less. I've already shot 3 times the number of images than any given month prior. Ha! Scott also used some of his Marriott rewards points to get a 2nd lens. It's 55-250mm. It's a great lens and a great few pieces of equipment!!</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline;

Thanks to May May and G-Daddy for taking him for the weekend. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUCN63aZQvlWpDR4i1bFQvKsPpmdIDADMsVTSPGyxXxGRGSFniQcB_Iy2o5acWh2N41EhSCsRsGAmyeEVNujogRCngMx9o9zjujDBiI-HUT-DosEbRg0UOUBpEmaAQeGr5k4ecelLrixAH/s320/Carter+sitting+in+new+chair.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506821638599031266" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 228px; height: 320px; " /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I know he can't tell you he had a great time, but by looking through all the video and pictures you took of him I'd say he had a blast!!!

Scott got his itinerary for this trip yesterday, so it's set and ready to go. We will be on the 3:50pm flight leaving Friday, September 17th and returning to the states at 10:45am on the morning of Friday December 17th. Delta says it's a 13 hour flight going to Japan and a 12 hour flight coming back. I have to be honest, I'm not looking forward to either of these flights, especially with a toddler. We'll get through it though!!</span></span></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Scott was also able to sit down last night at work with one of his Japanese coordinators to search for apartments on Japanese websites. We thought we would probably be staying in the Nagoya area, but as it turns out it was going to end up being an hour train ride for Scott to get to work every day. So we've opted to stay in Toyota City which is where his office and Toyota Headquarters is located. Living in T.C. allows Scott to walk 20 minutes to work or take a 20 minute train ride if the weather doesn't allow for walking. It's also right close to a few department stores with shopping and play places for Carter, and grocery market places.</span></span></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Excited.
