Yokohama Stop

We said goodbye to Fuji City and hopped back on the bus around 9:00 for a few more hours and stopped at Yokohama, which is about an hour outside of Tokyo.  We needed to kill some time before hotel check-in. 

We trolled around the mall for awhile.  First going into the Disney Store, which was smaller than an American Claire's, then into Snoopytown. 

These pictures are for Aunt Judy!

I must say that this day I disagreed with Charles Schultz.  Happiness is not a warm puppy, but being off the bus!

Our good friends the Colettas are on this trip with us. 

Claire now does a "Hook 'em Horns" with one hand and a "Peace" sign on the other.  She has dual American/Japanese citizenship with her hand signals.

Then to a sports section where we played a little golf. 

Drive it Mason!  ☺

Michael and Mr. Mike

Gigi and I went to the potty and I must say...the bathrooms in Japan are AWESOME!  I'll get a picture of all of the options on the toilet seat at another time (Wait on the edge of your seat...get it?  Seat? Ha!).

Every bathroom I've been in on this trip has one of these flip down seats for babies.  Why isn't this standard?  I may make it my mission in life to bring this to the United States. 

Not sure if this will catch on in America since Americans have a hard time cleaning up their own pee pee after they sprinkle when they tinkle.  Such responsibility to disinfect your seat!

Very pretty!

We finally parted with some yen at the candy store.   Because we may be able to say "No. No. No." at a regular store where I could (theoretically) go online and buy whatever it is they're selling for about 25% of the yen price....we're not evil parents.

And posed for a few photo ops. 

"Look scared O!"  ;-)

A cute girl in front of a cute Lego tree!

Then we went to the Hard Rock Cafe for lunch. 

Mason has his sour gummy hanging out of his mouth like he's a member of the KISS Army.  ☺

Gigi napped through most of lunch.

And then the Colettas showed us how it is done when you have a mostly boy (Michael, Mason, Max and then they got Sophia) family.....you bring a football wherever you go!  ☺

Turkey Bowl, Yokohama Style!

We ran around and burnt off a little energy. 

This was a cool little area.  It was made to look like a ship. I thought it was just cool architecture, but Mick tells me it was an old dry dock area. Very cool!

And of course, posed for some pictures....because that's what the Wagoners do!  ☺

There was a huge Ferris Wheel and roller coaster, but it wasn't operating that day.  

Audrey sporting her Hello Kitty Hard Rock shirt! 

And Claire looking tough in front of the waterfall.  ☺

Then it was back on the bus for a quick 45 minute (light traffic) jaunt to our hotel!  

Hooray!  We made it!!!!!
