Yokohama Landmark Tower ~n~ Plaza

So, the other day...Yesterday?
Tiffany, the Kids & I went to Explore some more out in the Yokohama Area.
We were inspired from our trip to Hard Rock. :)
So we headed out for an adventure.
We took the same train to the same stop and took the same LONG moving stairway ... only this time we took one extra set of stiars AND------------->

SUPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DISNEY STORE!
I felt like i was @ home, for about a minute.
Wow! :) Olivia was so Excited!
Evan too. :)





This is a picture of the Yokohama Landmark Plaza (at the base of Yokohama Landmark Tower).
It's a Mall of sorts.

This is Yokohama Landmark Tower .
It's the Tallest building in Japan with the World's Fastest Elevator.
WOW!


Evan FINALLY got his own Ticket for something, and he was Quite happy about it.
Normally kids 4 and under are Free Everywhere.
It's 1,000 Y for Adults and 500 Y for School aged kids (O) and 200Y for E.

Thanks Tiffany for getting this awesome photo........
:) It's wonderful!
This is the kids at the top of the Tower....
The elevator ride was very fast and we were all "ooooh and ahhhh", haha.

When we got up to the top... we were all surprise to see, FISH!
There were Many little Aquariums. It was quite nice for the kids...






This is the MM21 district... and we have yet to do this 'park'... but it's on our 'to do' list.
It seams like Living Here, there are just unlimited things to do. :)
I am so glad we chose to explore a new area of Japan, and not go back to Sasebo (Although i still love the place....)..... Living here is just amazing sometimes!
Yokohama is pretty much our back yard! :)

Oh and ... don't forget to try the Dead Skin Eating Fish! :) No joke! they are very 'big' here in Japan, mostly for feet.
Olivia of course never wants to try this... but Evan and I... and Tiff were all for it! :)

When we were done with the Tower Tour...
We saw this guy (American)...who spoke great Japanese doing a show. It was Marine Day here in Japan, so there were lost of Stalls and Shows, esp for the Holiday.


After the show, we went back ... yes it was that good... to Hard Rock Cafe.
(But for lunch this time)...
OMG, Olivia Enjoyed her Wings, and ............

I had the BEST Haystack Salad.... OMG, i want one right now!
(and i am not even hungry!)
The Chicken was burn tasting... so i picked it off.
The salad was WONDERFUL even with no meat. YUMO!

After lunch we looked around the Yokohama Landmark Plaza Mall and found a Build a Bear store! :)
The kids were so excited and Tiffany got her Very 1st BABear! :)

Oh and right before we got on the train... we saw this BIG Poster of Harry Potter.
My kids (and us too)... are HUGE Harry Potter fans... so we had to get a pic! :)

Queens Square & Hard Rock Yokohama!

I thought i would start this off with how our day started.
We had a nice day @ the pool ... all energetic and cheery... haha... just wait until the last photo!


So, kind of last minute we decided (Mel, Tiff, Ej and I)... to head to Yokohama and find Hard Rock Cafe'! I was tired, but excited!
We all had a easy easy easy time finding the Restraunt and it was Gooood fooood!

We took the train from IKEGO to MinatoMinai stop in Yokohama. The stop is pretty much Inside the Queens Square shopping 'Mall'.
We had to walk through the mall to reach the Hard Rock, only about a 5 miniute walk.

This is the moving stairs we had to take, to make out way outside.


Wow! :) This is the Waterfront Amusement area. We did not go this time, but next time for sure.
That Ferris Wheel takes 1 hour to make it around!
I wont be doing that.
And, WOW... look at that photo of the family, Worst Ever... haha... Ethan OMG.
Evan too!


YAY we made it---->





This seams where i stopped taking pictures.
I don't know why... but this is all i got! haha.
The food was good, but keep in mind pricey!


This is a Sculpture right between the Queens Square and the Landmark Plaza (Which we did not do that night, but look for more on that coming up).
This reminds me of something out of MIB the movie! haha

The Ferris Wheel was Really pretty @ night! It kept changing into all different colors/patterns.


Remember i said, we started off good? Well, this is how we ended up.
Very funny IMO...
The trains we're packed and they were lucky to share a seat for part of the trip.


With Tiffany visiting, we have been go go go... so i have a few more things to share for sure.
Look for that! :)
