A vacation from our travels

October 4th--Well this week has been a nice slow week for us. We’ve had some late nights, but all in all a relaxing time in Tokyo. After seeing some awesome sights and the more "traditional Japan" in Takayama and Kyoto, we had basically decided to just chill out in Tokyo. The Hilton was a nice place to entertain the kids; especially since it rained a big part of our time here. Today, we took the subway into Tokyo to see the Tokyo Tower and eat at our 3rd Hard Rock Café in Japan. It was a quick trip in to Tokyo before heading back to the Hilton for some indoor swimming. I took the kids swimming while Mike packed all our suitcases. After swimming, Mike took the kids to play in the play area while I got ready for dinner. We ate in Forest Garden, the buffet style restaurant in the hotel that features Asian cuisine. It was awesome! They had dishes from Japan, China, India and Thailand. We all got to have exactly what we wanted and sampled everything from sushi to noodles to caramelized sweet potatoes. The desert bar was fantastic and capped off a great meal. It was a great way to end our last night in Japan.
