6 Happy Sights

September 20, 2016

ussights6

I’m back! Apologies for the silence on the space for the past few weeks. After having guests in town, I left for the U.S. for a whirlwind trip that covered three states and included a bachelorette weekend, a wedding and meeting my new niece. I started in New York, then headed to Michigan and ended the trip in Phoenix and I’m getting tired again just typing that.

Trying to keep up with work on the road made things a bit hectic, but now that I’m back in Tokyo, I’m thrilled to share more what we’ve been up to lately. Expect another quick DIY, some snaps from our latest excursions in Japan to Osaka, Nara and back to Kyoto and more. But first, here are my happy sights from my trip to the U.S., starting with this gorgeous shot my cousin took of my absolute favorite city.

I hope your week is off to a great start!

One of the highlights of my weekend in NYC for my cousin's bachelorette party was a wine tasting sail on the Hudson River. I must admit I spent the second half of it horizontally, as movement and my stomach apparently cannot be made friends by a double dose of dramamine and ginger gum.

I was thrilled to finally take an AKT class in person, especially after a successful morning shopping. But would I recommend doing in jet lagged? Maybe not.

Couldn't get enough of sweet new niece Gwen.

Joined my sister and her family at the newly opened OdySea Aquarium in Scottsdale, Arizona, where I watched these guys from the bathroom.

So thrilled football season has started! Had to make sure my youngest nephew was properly outfitted from head to toe for game day. Go Green!
