While we took in plenty of Japanese culture in Tokyo, we also had some pop culture fun. A visit with Sumo wrestlers and shopping for Pokemon and anime gear didn’t disappoint!
Konnichiwa Japan
It was years in the making, but we finally took the leap to the land of the rising sun, shoguns, Pokemon and Nintendo for spring break. We had plenty of pop culture time, but our first outings were to Buddhist and Shinto shrines in Tokyo – Senso-ji and Meiji. They started off our first two…
A Special DC United Game
We took an amazing opportunity to experience DC United up close and personal as they took on the Columbus Crew. It was a narrow defeat, but being so close to the action was tough to beat!
Opening Sports Spring Weekend
Though it felt like the busy fall season was just here, and winter sports were a blur, we found ourselves ramping back up for a spring of baseball and soccer. Owen’s team got off to a strong start, with an 11-3 win…two of those goals thanks to our #54. Colin and the Stags had their…

A 10th Trip to Great Wolf
After 10 trips in 12 years, we’ve become up close and personal with Great Wolf Williamsburg. We continue to hit our stride, enjoying the water park, the arcade and MagiQuest (and naps for mom and dad on occasion) in perfect balance!
