Beautiful flowers.

Had an amazing afternoon up north at the Nakijin Castle Cherry Blossom Festival. Every time this year the Okinawans celebrate the "sakura" or cherry blossom. There are several sites on the island to visit and each offer spectacular views of the vibrant pink blossoms of the season. Here is a link to the festival we went to: http://www.japanupdate.com/?id=8354

We went during the day with Ty's boss and his family, the Curtin's. The kids had a ball climbing up and down the ruins. It was a wonderful day with wonderful friends.
