Visits to the Moxley family

Our Sunday weekend was quite a interesting one. We visited Uncle Joseph and Aunty Lovely and Precious. We took some very nice pictures by the beach. It was really nice and I enjoyed every moment of it. I don't know why everytime Precious play with me, I start to cry! Maybe I am scared of girls. :(




















Hiking to Mt. Lam Lam

Enjoying a good Sabbath hike up to Mt. Lam Lam to see the crosses. It has such an amazing view from the top overlooking the Philippine Sea and whole of Guam island. We really had a great time.

Ueno Park, Tokyo, Japan







Since today is the last day we are in Japan, mommy & daddy decided to walk through another park to see cherry blossom. There were many people celebrating this festival. People were having picnic, enjoying the blooms everywhere underneath the cherry blossom trees.














Ueno Zoological Gardens. First opened in 1882, these are Japan's most historic zoological gardens. The zoo has more than 400 animals on exhibit from around the world, including giant pandas (Ling Ling) and aye ayes. We also saw the emperor's peguin, polar bear, elephant, gorilla forest and amphibian reptile house.

Asakusa & Hama-rikyu Gardens in Japan
















Visit to Hamarikyu Gardens after the cruise ride. Gardens of the Tokugawa Shogun family representing the Edo Period 18th century, famous for ponds and two duck ponds. The Shiori pond is designed to feature a landscape that changes along with the ebb and low of the tides. These are the only tidewater ponds still remaining in Tokyo.













Cherry Blossom viewing at Sumida Park along the Sumidagawa River.








Nakamise Street entrance to Sensoji Temple at Asakusa. This area is famous for being preserved as the oldest part of Tokyo. There are many small shops that sells traditional Japanese stuffs. It was really crowded with tourist and local people. Many people come to this place for praying and to view the cherry blossom.

Asakusa : The view from our hotel. We are facing Sumida Park and the cruise boarding area. The park is exceptionally famous to view Cherry Blossom during Spring time. Btw, this place will be memorable as it is the place where I started to crawl. :P

Visiting Japan


My first visit to Japan to see Cherry Blossom. We stayed right next to the Sumida Park in Asakusa. From our hotel, we are able to see the cherry blossom blooming along the Sumida river banks. We took many pictures... mommy & daddy will display more pictures we took on their blog too.








This picture was taken at Hamarikyu Gardens. Mommy said that this place was created in 18th century by the royal family of Japan. We took a boat cruise along the Sumida River to reach the gardens. There were many Japanese trees and plants.


Sensoji Temple at Asakusa, Japan


Daddy holding me at Ronnoji Temple in Nikko. We took a 2 hours train ride from Asakusa to Nikko at the Togoshi District. These temples are part of the world heritage series. The weather was rather nice and cold. There were many mountains around this place. I saw many oak trees which are very old. Most of these historical places are built in the 16th century.







Spring in Japan







Spring time is here... I discovered the beauty of seeing beautiful flowers in a nice cozy cool weather in Japan. The cherry blossoms were blooming everywhere. It was so impressive to see a tree covered with flowers.
