火曜日から２泊３日の鬼怒川温泉に母親と皆で旅行に行ってきました。火曜日は曇り空だったけど雨にも降られず無事に鬼怒川温泉に到着。宿に着いた後、鬼怒川ライン下りに乗船してきました。少し肌寒かったけど、たっぷりとマイナスイオンをあびて、沢山夕飯食べてお風呂に入ってまったりと。
水曜日の午前中は私とさくらと母親はお部屋でゆっくりと、ジョシュは宿の周りを散策（６キロを２時間半歩いていたそうで）でもいい写真がとれてました。夜からは台風の影響で雨、木曜日は台風直撃とまではいかなかったけど無事にお昼頃、浅草に到着しました。
浅草でお昼ご飯を食べた後、錦糸町にでてお買い物をして、お家に帰ってきました。
夜は、ジョシュが楽しみにしていた牛角に行ってきました。久々の牛角、美味しかった＆満腹
久々の温泉、本当に気持ちがよかった、母親、ありがとう。
Just this Tuesday morning, we left for Kinugawa Onsen. All 4 of us, Hideko, Takako, Sakura & I hopped the train from Asakusa and headed north for a 3-day & 2-night adventure. Tuesday was very much overcast but there was no rain. (Typhoon #18 was on its way.) Once we checked into the hotel, we caught a cab for the Kinugawa Onsen boat ride down the river. In the boat 'terminal' there were even pictures of Leonardo DiCaprio when he had taken the ride down the river. Afterwards, we headed back to the Kinugawa Onsen Hotel where we enjoyed the hot/relaxing spa and all-you-can-eat dinners/breakfasts. Wednesday was a relaxing day for the most part but as the rain hadn't started yet, Josh headed out to snap some pictures of the local area. Sakura might be coming down with a cold and Takako & Hideko stayed back with her, taking turns heading to the downstairs spa. Josh ended up walking about 4 miles in 2 ½ hours, snapping pictures along the way. Everything from the scenery, new bridges & waterfalls. Later that afternoon, the rain started as the typhoon had made its way to Kinugawa Onsen. Some more relaxing that night and into Thursday morning where we indulged in the spa once more, then to breakfast and checked out by 9:30 AM and headed for the train station. We headed back to Tokyo and then Higashi-Oojima. Tonight, we just got back from Gyu-Kaku. We really need to thank Hideko for the trip as she insisted on paying.
