Laura & Greg in Okinawa

So I'm taking a break from packing (yes, there's always more packing!) to write about our most recent visitors (and yes, peer out the patio window on this stunning day!)  Joe's sister Laura and her new husband Greg came to visit us.  We spent the first part of their vacation in Okinawa, then traveled to mainland Japan.

We visited Peace Prayer Park on a national holiday - Children's Day.  The park was decorated with flying koinobori (fish flags).  It was beautiful and unique!



We were blessed with beautiful weather while Greg & Laura were in Okinawa.  Normally May is rainy season - rainy & grey every day.  Joe took them snorkeling at one of his favorite places on Miyagi Island.

Since I'm not such a fan of snorkeling, I had a great day to read on the beach!

No trip to Okinawa is complete without a stop at Pineapple Park!

We made friends with a sweet Okinawan lady at the Ryukyu Village (Ocean Expo Park).  She thought Greg was very young and cute!

At the Tropical Dream Center (Ocean Expo Park), they finally put a camera stand at this photo op!

And finally, the Churaumi Aquarium!  We had a fantastic time in Okinawa!

Our next stop was Hiroshima!
