I love Tokyo with all the hussle and bussle. If you know what you’re looking for you’ll realize there are hidden gems all over town.On rooftop of a department store in the middle of Shinjuku, I found a playground! I took Hanna last spring when it was still really cold and it wasn’t all that fun. But we went again the other day and this time, although very hot, it was so much fun.

This time there were four big mist machines surrounding the play area. Nice cool mist was spraying all over and it was so refreshing! And the outdoor cafe was open, serving light meals, ice cream and BEER! There’s nothing like a cold ASAHI on a hot summer day.

My favorite beer!!

I’ve gotten to know an awesome girl too, Alex. She’s my husbands new teammates wife, and could possibly be one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. And she shares my love for coffee and thrift stores! Yay! Really down to do what ever and hang with me and the kids on our little escapades.
