After a very important night's sleep, we woke up to sporadic rains. We decided to go to the Tokyo National Museum first so that we could be mostly out of the rain. The museum was spectacular. The night lights in Tokyo are fun to walk through and unlike many big cities, I didn't feel unsafe walking through the streets late at night. Seth found that he loves miso soup and begged everyone for theirs whenever we were given them with our dinners. We did okay for most of the day, but by 5pm about half of us were dragging our feet. Jet lag is rough.
The kids thought that these "long potatoes" were pretty funny.
Sam's favorite thing was the swords. He was pretty bummed that we couldn't make our own and take them home, but these were neat.
These stripes in the sidewalks and roads are for people with disabilities to know where to walk.
This one was Ada's gem. We had lots of cameras going most of the day. It was hard to pare down 9000 pictures into a few hundred.
We did some shopping on the way back to our airbnb. Sam didn't make it home without a little nap.
Ada took a picture of me taking this picture. I loved this cute old man.
I took this picture then Seth came back to me and showed me how cute the cat was in this painting.
These were for sharpening the samurai swords. I recommend looking up how they stand while they're doing it.

These giant scroll paintings were so amazing. I loved all the details and especially all the faces of the soldiers.
