We Got Snow!

Oh yes we did :)

Marche's

Good morning!

I thought I would post one of my favorite restaurants in Misawa. Marche has French-Japanese cuisine and is delicious. They have a variety of seafood as well as some pasta and steak dishes. They are open from 11:00-2:00 (last order 1:45) and 5:00pm - 9:30 (last order 9:00). The garlic bread alone is worth the trip :).

Directions: Go out the main gate to the first light and go straight. Make a left at the first side street on the left. Marche will be on the left and there will be a paid parking lot on the right. I recommend taking a ticket and parking in the lot. It is only about a hundred yen.

Here is the restaurant map for Misawa - Misawa Restaurant Map

Word On The Street....

That there is a Tony Roma's in Aomori.... Haven't tried it yet, but steak is in my future. If you have been leave a comment to let us know if it was worth the trip :) Website

Christmas Tree - MDP

UUmmmmmm... So I had to post this because it was the saddest Christmas tree I have ever seen. :) Happy Weekend everyone!

It has been

Forever since I have updated this site and I apologize. In effort to make it more reallistic of Misawa life... I will be blogging some of the craziness that is going on in our life. First things first winter is on its way and it is COLD!!! Okay, not as cold as it could be but me and my chicken legs are not appreciating the dropping temps. Second, I have been incredibly busy this last year traveling, starting a new job, husband deploying, and keeping up with two kids that have real homework this year. No complaints though it has been fantastic! Being in Northern Japan it seems like we are always busy doing something so I will be updating the site, adding pics, restaurants and general nonsense. Thank you for all the kind emails and I hope I got everyone's questions answered.

Cheers!

Climbing Mt Fuji - Summer 2009

Yes we made it to the top :)

Kenji World

Kenji World is a waterpark near Morioka. The drive is about two and half hours. We have enjoyed going for day and overnight trips. This is another trip that I believe you can get discounted tickets through ITT. I highly recommend avoiding Japanese Holidays because the place will be packed with visitors. Have Fun!

Yokota Fun

By driving to Yokota from Misawa I got to see a lot of what is around Yokota. These are directions to one of the major shopping centers and restaurants. Yokota also has a Chili's built and ready to go.... :(

I was recently down in Tokyo and picked these up at Yokota lodging. They are a great way to make it back and forth to Tokyo. Just be careful in Roppongi!

An even shorter trip out of Misawa is to Morioka. There is two large malls, a zoo and much more. If you buy tickets at Misawa ITT for the zoo I believe that they are discounted...

It looks like the Misawa Daily Photo website is locked by Google... Don't ask me why... I have spent a number of nights trying to figure it out. I will be setting up a new* and improved* site this week. Thank you for all of your support!
