March Highlights (First walking experience, Suwako Lake and Sakura)



Despite daddy's busy schedules, we managed to visit several places in March. We visited Nagoya on March 1st for 2 days, and it's my first experience taking the speedy train, Shinkansen. Mommy enjoyed the chicken wings at Furaibo restaurant (she used to eat at this restaurant during her college time in L.A.). And I walked for the first time on March 3rd, right on Hinamatsuri day (I am exactly 13 months and 13 days old on this day..such a coincidence with so many 3s). We were at one of the hottokan (children's playground) when suddenly I just stood up and started to walk by myself. Since then, I just continued to master the art of walking...:) and hopefully I can start running by next month. On March 8th, daddy brought us to Suwako (Nagano prefectures). It's a beautiful lake and the lake was frozen at that time and people can basically walk on the lake itself. It was pretty cold, but we really enjoyed our time together. We decided to stay overnight at Yamanashi, and enjoyed the hot springs in the hotel. March is also an exciting month for Sakura. We had picnic on March 28th at Ueno park, and I really loved the crowd n proudly showed to all the people at how well I can actually walk. Mommy and Daddy were kept busy cause they need to keep looking out for me when I wandered around the park. :)
