We've been slowly making our way through Star Wars, which Scott is over the moon about because he gets to watch tv with the girls. He loves that they like to snuggle with him to watch because sometimes the movie is a little scary. So far, the girls are really digging the series and we just finished episodes 1-6 and are on Episode 7 now. It's fun to watch them get into these classic movies.
We got back from Japan about a week ago and we're still talking about what a great trip it was! Japan has never been super high on my places to visit but for a lot of reasons (I've never been, it's clean, it's safe, it's different) we took the plunge and booked it as our summer vacation this year. It helped that our friends, the Wongs, went last year, raved about it and loved it so much they were going again and we were able to coordinate so that some of our trip overlapped with theirs. It helped even more that the yen is at a 10-year low (maybe all time low?) against the dollar, which, aside from airfare, made everything quite affordable. Look how low the yen is! We lucked out that it kept falling after we booked our tix in Dec. Since this was our first big overseas trip since COVID and with kids (or, lets face it, SINCE kids), I dove into prepping for our trip - including trying to keep up my Duolingo streak of learning Japanese for at least a few minutes everyd
How fun! Now they'll know all the characters when Ian starts going off about them! (But he says his favorites are from the Clone Wars, which I haven't seen yet either.)
