Takeshi and Allison go to Japan

 Takeshi and Allison spent over two weeks in Japan to visit with family and take in the sights. A lot of time was spent in Tokyo but they did take a train to visit Kyoto and Osaka. They got to se Mt. Fuji twice I believe. They posted so many photos that it was difficult to choose which to put in the newsletter. There were a lot of pictures of vending machines and food. They had a great time....a trip to remember.

Tokyo

Takeshi and Allison went to an observation deck on the top of a skyscraper to get this view!

Carney Family Newsletter for November

 

I'm giving thanks to all of you who have helped me out this past year. You have made my life a lot easier and I appreciate you all so much! I am grateful and thankful.

As I'm putting together this newsletter, Takeshi and Allison are in Japan. Pictures are already rolling in. I can't wait to share them all with you in next month's newsletter. Tim and Kim recently traveled to Europe....Germany and Belgium. Following this blog you will find some great photos so keep on scrolling. They had a great time and I will hear all about it when I have dinner with them Saturday.

I am all decorated for Christmas.....everything came out of one bin, so decorations are minimal. Please send me your holiday decor and of course, Christmas pictures. We have already had two snow falls and it sure does get one in the holiday spirit. 

On to the news........................

Kim planned this trip around the New England Patriots game in Frankfurt. Here, Tim and Kim pictured with her son Matt.

I think that I have gotten the pictures a little out of order but they traveled from Frankfurt to Heidelberg and then on to Brussels visiting Bruges and  Ghent. Amsterdam was a train ride away and unfortunately, I lost some of the Amsterdam photos of the red light district but you can see some of that in the video.

This is what happens when you cause trouble in Belgium.

Perfect end to a perfect trip.Where to next guys?
