TOKYO

After getting to go ahead from our doctors and Blade's ship, we booked a trip to go to Tokyo to see the man we LOVE, our Blade! A crazy couple days of traveling and one long 10 hour plane ride, we made it to Japan...and oh was it amazing! We had missed Blade so much, so it was wonderful to spend a few days together.

Mason did so good traveling and being with daddy. He warmed right up to him and the two were inseperable, just like they were before we had left each other. He loves his daddy and can you blame him, the guy is amazing! We started our mornings out with going down into the hotel and getting some fruit, yogurt and pastries and then eating them in our room. Then we just took each day as it came!



We went to Tokyo Disney Sea! It was so fun...HOT, but fun! We walked around, got lots of yummy food, and rode some rides that could accomodate a toddler and pregnant lady! Poor Blade missed out on some of the cooler ones, but the way we are going we'll live near a Disneyland or world, so we'll go back and do more next time!




We rode the trains and got to see some of the countryside. Mason had fun sitting with Daddy, and even fell asleep on the ride there and back!



We had fun hanging out in our beautiful hotel, too. We cuddled in bed, ordered room service(had the best salad of my life with an amazing ginger dressing!), watched movies on Blade's laptop, and just enjoyed being together.



My favorite was the Thai food that we got! It was so good! Blade went and got Mason some chicken nuggets and fries from McDonalds too, so we all had a yummy dinner! Yep, they even had a McDonalds there! It did have a bit of a different menu though..Filet of Eel anyone?!



We rode the hotel shuttle lots too.




One day we even went to the hotel pool. Mason and daddy swam, while I dipped my feet and took pictures.




And Mason loved riding the elevator! He was just barely tall enough to push the button, so that was one of the highlights for him :)



I was so happy that it all worked out. I was nervous that Blade would have to cancel on us last minute, or that we would have problems with our planes, or trains, or health...or who knows what else, but it all worked out great. I truely love Blade and appreciate everything he does for us. He took such good care of us while we were with him, and we are so excited that we only have 2 months left until he comes back to us for good. He got to feel the baby kick for the first time too, and that was wonderful! I think I kinda shocked him with my belly though :) So now we can check family trip to Tokyo off our list of things to do! Haha! If you get to read this, WE LOVE YOU BLADE!

OH the family shot of you guys is so great. Yeah for 2 months to go. That is really exciting. I hope it flies by. I am so impressed you traveled that far alone, well with Mason I mean. That can be hard, but looks like it was definitely worth it. SO FUN! I am glad everything worked out so well.
