Hannita went off to Kamakura to shop with some friends, so I decided to take the kids somewhere. The goal was really just anywhere out of the house, but not too far away. We ended up driving south on the 16 for about ten minutes and stopping here--Kannonzaki Park. Encompassing a very large area along the water, there was a small beach area, caves, tunnels, a lighthouse and apparently an amazing park (We didn't make it there this time).

| My finger is our starting point. To the north is Tokyo bay |
And we're off! Well, Coop is off. Sam and I were just trying to catch up with him. I think it was low tide so there were many exposed rocks along the shoreline along with great views of Tokyo Bay. Followed the path, we worked our way north (See my shadowy finger above!) and then to the east. There were many distractions for the boys along the path.  |
| Samuel was tired but hanging in there. |

| Coop was pretty fired up to lead the way. |

When we returned to our starting point, the kids took their socks off and were able to get their toes in the sand. Basically, Sam would sprint off towards the water and Coop would mosey toward it really slowly. Soon Samuel will learn this effective method to not alarm the parent (me) while being able to soak his feet.
Our next trip there we will be to check out the lighthouse and park!!
