Arboretum

Weaving fish out of ferns!

The next day I took Marilyn and Andrew to the Churaumi Aquarium, Ryukyu Village, and arboretum.

Molly and Jed

Andrew and Marilyn

After a long hot day Marilyn and Andrew invited us to a night-cap and evening swim at their hotel. I'm the shadow on the left over Andew's shoulder checking out the *amazing* view from their hotel. On the right we're starting our march up to the water slide!

We took them to Pizza in the Sky... Jed and I hadn't been there in a while and it can be VERY tricky to find!! I was happy we arrived with minimal detours!

Pineapple wine tasting!



I haven't seen my friend Marilyn for many years! We went to junior high and high school together and were in the same youth group at church. Last I'd seen her was at Christmas Mass during Winter break in college! She since moved to San Jose, CA to teach. She's been married to her husband Andrew now for 2 years. They're a fun couple and we hope to meet up with them again when we move to California!
Marilyn and Andrew spent a week on mainland Japan and we were able to meet up with them when they travelled to Okinawa for their second week of their Japanese vacation!

Jed turned 30!

He had a fun birthday weekend... beach party, Northern tour, pizza and gifts, and birthday golf!
