hello all. it has been quite a long time since i put up this site/blog and i am finally getting around to adding an entry. the big exciting news is that nicole and are will be taking a two week trip to the philippines and japan. we are going to manila to celebrate my grandfather’s 90th birthday.  it should be fun. the whole family is going + nicole has never been there before. 

i think that we will split our time in japan between tokyo and kyoto.  it will be expensive but exciting.   it will also be nice to see ken in tokyo. i plan on taking a ton of photos so be on the look out.
