First stop was the Higashiyama Zoo.
It's a great place for viewing the ever-popular sakura (cherry blossoms). Many people say the week they are in bloom is the best week in Japan, so Mom and Dad timed their trip perfectly!
Since it was Easter Sunday, I like to think that this was the Easter bunny :)
Fun with the giraffees.
Moving on to a silly turtle exhibit... If the Japanese didn't think Americans were freak shows before, they do now!!
A line up of kangaroos. We couldn't see any joeys in the pouches :( But they were still cute.
A koala bear!
View of the Higashiyama Pond from the Sky Tower. The paddle boats down below were helicopters, swans, and other cool characters!
These are some random riding toys scattered around the zoo. You hop on, put in 100 yen, and then steer it around it runs out of juice! LOL.
Moving on to a different part of Nagoya -- Sakae with the floating pond and TV tower.
The whole family at Central Park.
Mom and Dad enjoy the park.
Cherry blossoms!
Mom and Kerri look like they are at one with nature. Do not be fooled... we are still indoors-type people!
Dad and Kerri in the park.
Yummy Easter Dinner
Their first Japanese restaurant experience: Yamachan for chicken wings and other treats on a stick.
Mom and Dad look really thrilled to be sitting on the floor eating dinner.
At least they enjoyed the Japanese soda ramune. You have to pop the top and then push a marble in it in order to start pouring.
