Our trip to America

Packed up and ready to go.....
Getting ready to board plane #1 from Naha Okinawa to Narita Japan
If your happy and you know give a "PEACE"
Ready to board plane #2 from Narita Japan to San Francisco
Welcome to San Francisco at 9 am in the morning, our body clocks were not on the same time....
Flight #3 from San Francisco to Denver....Bethany couldn't stay awake, Tomo couldn't quit laughing....
Once in Denver, boarded the bus to the National Car Rental for our Dodge Caravan, Tom - don't forget opposite of vehicle and opposite side of road......
We began to worry when we saw the ice/snow scrapper in the windshield and they asked us if we were sure we didn't want a 4 wheel drive, we said, are you sure we don't need one, they said "NO"
Boarding our last mode of transportation to get us to lodging to lay our weary heads down.....
OOOps, weary heads couldn't wait.....
Bundled up to take a walk to Old Chicago for some PIZZA.....and Juda some SPAGHETTI...We aren't so used to buddling up, Tomo isn't so happy about it....
After Old Chicago, Tom, Juda and Bethany went for a swim in the pool, Tomo went for a swim in the tub and the crashed on the floor......
Juda was more interested in the elevator in the atrium of the Embassy Suite than the FREE breakfast everymorning....
Tomo seems to say, now that was a GREAT breakfast dad, did you enjoy it too..."
Look what we found on the way to ride horses....
Watch out for those teeth, hate to have to brush those twice daily
