After I tucked the boys into bed and headed downstairs the smell of the bread maker greeted me with yeasty goodness. Later on, for a midnight snack I sliced off a piece of the bread as it was starting to cool and spread some cream cheese on it and gobbled it up like those geese you always see at lakes.
A bread maker is one of those items I would never consider having. For Eri it was a matter of course. And our lives are better for it.
Auntie Grace came over to babysit the boys for a few hours, so Eri and I started our morning off with coffee and cake at Nakao Cafe. I rarely eat cake these days, but when you have a chance to eat some superb New York cheesecake you gotta take it.
Eri loves her shortcakes.
Then Eri had the great idea of heading to a hot spring bath not far from our house. The boys and I pass Sawaoto Onsen all the time when we go play and watch the bullet train in Rifu Town. We should've gone before. It was just right. Simple, relaxing, quiet.
Then Eri had another moment of inspiration. After getting done with the super Japanese activity of a public hot spring bath she decided we should go see The Colonel - KFC. We finished up our date chowing down on fried chicken and made it home just in time. The boys were walking up the hill with Auntie Grace as we drove up the street.
Apparently they had a pretty awesome time as well.
There's a guy down the road who owns a retro Lotus sports car and the boys got to play in it.
They love race cars and collect race car toys and have races in the house and it makes me so happy when they laugh and squeal with delight.
