Wide Awake at 3 a.m.

My uncle and his family visited us for several days from Japan. We really enjoyed their hospitality when we visited them last summer and wanted them to have a blast in (mostly) sunny Southern Cal. They arrived on Saturday morning and we went to a lot of tourist spots in Beverly Hills, Hollywood and Santa Monica. We even went to a Laker’s game! We also spent a sunny day at Disneyland’s California Adventure and a sunny morning turned downpour afternoon day at Universal Studios. We took a ton of pics that I’ve posted on Flickr, but the privacy is set for family only — so, if you’re family, create a free account (if you don’t already have one) and let me know. The pic you see is Ken posing with his pals Storm, Daredevil, Wolverine, Captain America and Spidey. Mags and I really enjoyed playing host!

On Wednesday morning, they flew out to visit my family in Northern Cal. Fun, fun! My sister, Mioi, has posted a bunch of pics on Flickr too — again, for family.
