Japan is very serious about its flowers. There are several national holidays throughout the year that are in celebration of various flowers, and there are many farms and festivals where you can view and buy flowers. Fletcher and I drove to Sera one day, about an hour and a half away, to view the tulips. I really wanted to go but Jesse's work schedule never quite aligned for us to go as a family. It was amazing. The farm was huge, and they had areas for each color of tulip. It was a gorgeous day and a perfect afternoon trip. The pictures really don't do it justice.
On the way back home, I saw a sign for a park. You never really know what you're going to get when you follow English signs, but it was a GREAT surprise. The park had a huge grassy area where you could frolic and picnic, as well as a train, small amusement park rides, and what I can only describe as an outdoor children's museum. I'm excited to go back again when Fletcher can run and climb.
