On foot in Canada and one foot in the USA. Niagara On foot in Canada and one foot in the USA. Niagara Falls was impressive. And we have seen a LOT of waterfalls! The Maid of the Mist tour was an experience. We were soaked. Greg was extra soaked because he wouldn’t wear the poncho!

Also a view of the Tokyo Tower. A highlight from Mater’s Tall Tales. #tokyomater #carsmovie #materstalltales

Before heading back to Tokyo, we stored our luggag Before heading back to Tokyo, we stored our luggage at the Kyoto station and took the train to the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. The crowds were intense so we tried to head out of town to walk along to river with less people! A challenge anywhere we went in Kyoto!

So the signs said not to feed the deer in Nara Par So the signs said not to feed the deer in Nara Park, but they were selling crackers to do just that. 

We watched as many terrified children ran away from these deer, who nipped at them demanding more crackers. 

The lesson here is to maybe DON’T feed the deer. They don’t really “bow” as they say they do, it is more of a “begging” action or a “head butt”. 

I can’t say I’m loving the animal “exhibits” in Japan. Between this, the animal cafes, and the monkey “hike”… not impressed.

On a trip to Nara, we attempted to hike the Yamano On a trip to Nara, we attempted to hike the Yamanobe no Michi Trail but we couldn’t find it. Once you got too far out of town, nothing was in English. All just Japanese characters. It was hot though, and we were all tired, so we didn’t put too much effort into tracking it down. Maybe you will have better luck!

We settled for roosters. And a Japanese cover band of the Beatles.

This trip was covered by the JR pass but you have to pay a tourist tax. Which involves yet another ticket. Just make sure it is the right color ticket. Sigh.

Get Inspired

Traveling with your kids doesn't have to be hard, you just have to get a little creative. Where do THEY want to go next? How do you all want to travel there? Brainstorming is oftentimes the best part. Have your kids find a picture in a magazine of a place that inspires them and just go for it. Unless it is San Bernadino. My kids always pick San Bernadino.
