On Saturday, we went to Hamarikyu Gardens, the family garden of Tokugawa Shogun, and caught a water bus up the Sumida River to Asakusa, which used to be the entertainment district of Tokyo. The water bus was a great way to see the skyline of Tokyo and all the great bridges. The babies loved the boat and being on the water -- they were having fun counting all the other boats and waving to everyone. Once in Asakusa, we walked through the markets and saw the famous Sensoo-ji Buddhist temple. After the boat, they got a little hungry and restless; so, we bought them some authentic Japanese KFC (i.e., hitotsu chikken nugetto) and an emergency cheap Thomas the Train set, which did the trick. I hadn't been to Asakusa since my first trip in 1999 -- very cool area. The boys especially loved climbing all the steps of the temple.
