On Sunday we finished off our recent marathon of field trips with a visit to the Japanese-American National Museum downtown for their Oshogatsu (Japanese lunar new year) celebration. It was basically too crowded and Jackson isn't quite ready for craft projects yet, so it wasn't our greatest success, but the museum is beautiful, the event was excellent, even for a little kid (Dragon bouncy house! Snacks! Bang-bang drums!) and we'll probably do this again in a couple of years.

| It's not all cute all the time people. Sometimes he's just a toddler! Hee. |

Can I Geo-track you or something to figure out where you're going??? Or maybe you need to start an email blast with all your upcoming expeditions so I can take Ben. You make me feel incredibly inadequate and inspired all at the same time! (And I mean that in the nicest way) xoxo
Dude, you are killing me with the cultural outings. How do you come up with this awesome stuff??!! You need to have a preschool.
Jackson is so cute! What a doll. Thank you for visiting my blog and taking the time to comment. I'm glad I returned the visit.
