Weekend at OBX

Anna and I spent three days at our beach house in South Nags head, NC.  We managed to re-stain our deck.  But the rest of the time we just "unlaxed".

Who else went in?

Sky Diving in Manteo, NC

Jim and Yulia had never gone skydiving.  Anna and I had done it once before.  So it was decided that the four of us would jump together.  It was a perfect day: warm, sunny and light breeze.

Post-Tokyo OBX

We went to our Nags Head beach house with Lynne and Jim.  Weather was sunny, hot and perfect ocean temperature.

We had to buy a new (large) bottle of Patròn tequilla (and we got a free cold bag to keep our margaritas at the correct temp)!

Anna and I ate Dungeness crabs at Dirty Dick’s Crab House and then went to the top viewing platform at Kitty Hawk Kites to watch the sun set over Jockey’s Ridge.

Visit to Our Tokyo Family

We flew to Tokyo to spend two weeks with the Kurodas: Hiroko and Ren and the four children - Chikage (daughter, 10), Riku (son, 8) and the new twin boys, Naoya and Masaki.

Chikage, Riku, Anna, and Ren with the twins:

We went to a local street fair, and ate some great food; and Riku won a prize:

You need small fire engines to get down very narrow streets!

Just walkin' around town:

To get at prizes frozen in ice and buried in snow, Riku had to work:

Riku loves cars.  He took Masami into the driving simulator:

Refreshment time!

Oh, and did I mention Ren took Anna and me to train with the Spartans in Tokyo?
