Cecile finishes her visit from college to celebrate her birthday. I travel to L.A. and Denver for work.
The entire family traveled to Japan for 2 weeks in late March. It was a wonderful trip with lots of pictures. Here is the first week where we spent time in Tokyo before we jumped on the bullet train towards Kyoto.

Week 2 in Japan. We came back to Tokyo where we dropped Cecile for her flight home, spent the weekend on a local road trip, and then hopped aboard another bullet train towards Hiroshima.
