Tokyo Bound

We spent Spring Break in Tokyo. We rented a van from the base Auto Hobby shop since our van is not trustworthy for a long drive. Renting a van also includes tickets to use on the toll roads, making the price of renting the van very worth it. We loved riding in style and having the extra space. We also enjoyed the freedom that driving gives us (vs taking the train): we could stop often, watch movies, eat snacks, not worry about keeping our luggage light.

Our second rest stop had a small park. The kids enjoyed burning some energy and stretching their legs

Driving in Tokyo wasn't our favorite thing to do, but once we got used to it (and stopped taking wrong turns) it wasn't so bad

 We were all really happy to have arrived
