We had a great stay on a farm here. Wonderful breakfast, and the girls loved the animals. The farmhouse was hundreds of years old, and we did have a moment of excitement when Margot locked herself in the bathroom!

We did have a funny experience. Kim had just changed Margot’s diaper and was throwing away the old one, and in that moment Margot Managed to shut herself in the bathroom door and lock it. Through the old fashioned keyhole, we could see her, but couldn’t get the lock unlocked or talk Margot through unlocking it. After a few minutes we went and got the caretaker (the owner’s son) and he came in to see the issue. His response was an immediate:

“Let me grab my axe and we shall bash the door down”

I looked at the door, a gorgeous old wood door, and suggested “Well, if you brought up a couple screwdrivers we could take the door off the hinges and not need to destroy it”

He looked a tiny bit sheepish, fetched some screwdrivers, and a few minutes later we had the door off the hinges and rescued Margot.

Even after 16 days in the Grand Canyon, Margot asked if there were any cool hikes we could do on our way home from Flagstaff. So we did a kind of really silly long way home extension and hiked Wire Pass Gulch in Grand Escalante

I have a bit of a reputation amongst some friends for having somewhat ambitious travel arrangements. But even by my standards, today felt a little crazy. We woke at 4:45 a.m. Saturday Japan time. Took Metro about an hour to see the tuna auction and

For anyone going to Japan and considering TeamLabs. Teamslabs Planets in Tokyo is a crowded, touristy cash grab, but a well done one and probably worth a visit. TeamLabs in Osaka is a touristy, crowded cash grab, and kinda boring and I’d give it a

Vacation rules. Coke and sushi for breakfast after a 4:45 wake-up.

Today we did a Samurai and Ninja class at the Samurai “museum”. It was a little cheesy and kind of expensive for what it was, but good fun anyway. Margot had long been interested in ninjas and similar, so she was particularly excited, but we
