Spring in Japan

Spring is in the air in beautiful Japan! This weekend we enjoyed a few days under the Sakura (cherry blossoms). The Chief ship came home just in time to see the beautiful flowers! We did a small family photo shoot in Yokohama and then enjoyed lunch under the trees on Easter. The chief unfortunately had duty for Easter Sunday so the kids and I enjoyed morning Mass, a yummy brunch at the O Club and spent the day outside int he warm weather. I am so happy to have my windows open! Here are some pictures from the weekend:

This week we are taking an actual spring break form school. It is much too nice outside to worry about being inside, it is our first week of nice weather since winter after all! A few weeks ago the kids got their results back from the California standardized test and each had wonderful results, even on the essay part, so we are on the "downswing" for school now. We are all excited for summer and I think we will take a bit of a break since we schooled through last summer
