John's Trip to Japan

 

John had a real adventure traveling Japan with friends. He was able to get together with his family as well. The trip started in Hokkaido on the island of Sapporo. They visited Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. Above, through the clouds,  is Mt. Fuji

My South Carolina Vacation

Welcome to Murrells Inlet! I had a great time and enjoyed hanging out with the family. I was able to go to Brookgreen twice with a scooter ( thanks Amy for the pass and thank you and Allison for helping me out with the scooter). Also, enjoyed time at the state park. Thank you everyone for all your kindnesses, your patience. Thank you John for the use of your vehicle. I miss you all!

On my last day at the state park I was so thrilled to see this beautiful Painted Bunting. Every year I see it right before I leave to go home. Not a good picture but so happy that I got to see him!
