I wanted to share a picture of my son and my niece that shows them in 2004 and then recently last December. 12 years!
We visit the Redondo Beach Pier often when in SoCal, and this scale has been there forever. I am amazed that kids grow up so fast and that time flies by so quickly – it makes me a bit sad because I do miss the days when they were tiny. But I am excited to see what the future holds for them!
I hope you are having a good day.

P.S. In case you are wondering, I did get the kids’ permission to post their photos! 😝

こんばんは！How’s it going?
Tonight we bought park tickets for our upcoming Disney World trip! We’ll have two full days visiting the parks and we’ve decided to go to EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Initially, I was disappointed to not be visiting the Magic Kingdom… I mean, it’s the classic park! But we’ve gone to it many times (and I’d count Disneyland with it since they are so similar), and the more I thought about it, the more I think it would be better to spend our limited time in a location-specific park. For instance, if I had to choose between visiting Tokyo Disneyland or DisneySea, I’d have to choose the latter. Still, I’ll miss visiting Tomorrowland, Adventureland, Fantasyland and all the classic rides…
Anyways, one attraction we wanted to check out is the new Frozen Ever After ride in EPCOT’s Norway area. It used to be a very unpopular ride called Maelstrom, where you traveled back to the time of the Vikings, but then also ended up alongside huge, modern tankers. I actually thought it was a fun ride! I’ll let you all know if Frozen Ever After is better. 😜
We tried to get our FastPass+ for Frozen Ever After, but they were unavailable. 😩 So I guess we’ll just head there as soon as the park opens. I’m hoping it won’t be too bad a line, but we’ll probably be so excited it won’t matter. FYI, we got FastPasses for Test Track and Toy Story Mania the following day.
After writing this post, I’m pretty fired up about the Disney trip. Can’t wait!
Interesting survey about when people like to change into their yukata (robe) when visiting an onsen. I like to change into the yukata before we go to the bath, so that I don’t have to carry a set of dirty clothes back to the room. That’s the second most popular from the survey… Now thinking about onsen makes me really want to visit! ♨️
I was “traveling the world” in search of some cool radio stations on radio.garden, when I happened upon the little island in the photo above. Isn’t it incredible? It reminds me of somewhere a castaway might land upon. A “Life of Pi moment”.
