A Drive up the Coast ~Another Highlight of my Trip to Okinawa ~Meeting our Grandson

It was another beautiful day on the tropical island...
a good day to go out and about.

Amy planned a little trip for us,
 a drive along the coast.

Not only does one need to learn to drive on the left side of the road,
but there are the street signs in Japanese.
Thankfully, there is some English in smaller print.

The view was spectacular.

The plants are so lush and green.





There are lots of activities on the beach.
One can book a vacation in one of the large resorts there.

We enjoyed a little sweet treat...


That is not just any purple ice cream...
it is Purple Yam ice cream,
One of Okinawa's specialties.

Amy ordered the lemon ice, as she has given up dairy.
(Jack tummy does not tolerate it very well.)



An awesome setting to take wedding photos!

Recognize the Easter Lilies?
They grow along the pathways here.


See the red arrow? That's where we were!




We found a little shade in a picnic shelter
so Jack could have his afternoon snack, too.

Baby Jack only has eyes for his Mama!

She takes such good care of him.

Thank you for the delightful day at the Zanpa Beach!

Take care,
~Natalie

Where Jack's Daddy and Mommy Work

               Jack likes to visit his Daddy at work.

On days when it wasn't raining, we took Baby Jack out in the stroller and went for a walk.

Some days we just went around the neighborhood, 
but on this day we walked to Daddy's place of work.

    Nick gave me the VIP tour.
Jack listened intently to his every word.

On another day our walk took us to Mommy's work at the Med Center.

I was pleased to meet some of her co-workers!

Jack likes to ride in his seat...
whether it is on the stroller, or in the car!

I am so proud of Jack's parents and the work that they do.

       Thank you for your service.

               We are Blessed!
                    Take Care,
                      ~Natalie
