Family Time in Yokohama, Japan

As you can clearly see it was a BEAUTIFUL day in Yokohama with awesome visibility... It didn't stop these tourists in the picture from painting the town red!!! The day after Thanksgiving we headed up to Yokohama for the afternoon to do some more sightseeing. We walked along the river and went over to the ferris wheel and giant mall. They already had Christmas decorations up everywhere and everything looked really nice! AND of course we saw the Yokohama manhole cover with it's iconic bridge in the design! Our plan was to go to the "Cup of Noodle" museum wince it was such an icky day out but they had already sold out of tickets for the day... I guess other people had the same idea as we did.

Next stop... tallest ferris wheel in the world. We debated going up in it or not, and even though Damian and I had already done this we went up for the 15 minute ride around! It was a little bit chilly, but it was still fun! It even started to clear up a little so we could see a little more of Yokohama... a birds eye view! After our ride we headed to Queen's Square mall for dinner and to see the big singing Christmas Tree. Damian and I went last year, but it was different this year so it was pretty cool. As usual there was a big crowd for the show. Dinner was oishii as usual, we went to a place we had been to since we knew they had vegetarian options. I got vegetable tempura and cold soba noodles- you can't tell in the picture but I got "double decker" noodles... which I swore was too much to eat and then gobbled it all down without a second thought!
