The ROM Museum across from our hotel was a great looking building. ホテルの向かいにあるROM美術館は建物が素敵。
...and the building was the best part of this museum. Kids may love those dino's exhibition thogh. でもその素敵な建物がこの美術館の目玉ですね。子供達は恐竜の骨とか楽しいかもだけど。
The whole pattern is like this.
全体像はこんな感じ。
I actually started it 6 years ago using this book with help of Jean, my host mother in Santa Cruz and made 5 panels at that time. Now I have 6 panels but haven't decided what to make with them. Bed cover? Wall hanging? Pillows?
実は6年ほど前に始めた時に、この本を使い、又、サンタクルーズのホストマザー、ジーンに習いながらいくつか作ったので5枚できあがりがあるのですが、これを何にするかは未定。ベッドカバー?壁掛け?クッション?
Look at these cute plates!! かわいくできたでしょう。

The same menu in big size of this is going to be our dinner today! この同じメニューが当然今夜のお献立!
I cannot celebrate Father's day for my father anymore but guess what? I have now two fathers to celebrate since I married to Steven. Lucky me! (I also sent something to them today and hoping they will be there on time!! Go go, US Post Service!!
父の日をパパと祝うことはできないけれど、Stevenと結婚したおかげで何と今は2人のお義父さんがいるんです。ラッキー。(この二人には今日、父の日プレゼントを送ったんだけど、間に合うかなあ。アメリカの郵便局がんばれ!)

It was second time for us to come. This place is easy to get to and has beautiful redwoods.
This is our site. Steven has already made a fire and built a tent.
ここに来るのは2回目。近いし杉の木の森が気持ちいいから。
ここが私たちのキャンプ地Stevenはすでに火を焚いて、テント設置済み。





Apettizer assortment was great, too but the picture didn't come out well. All the dishes were wonderful !! 前菜の盛り合わせもおいしかったけど写真がぼけちゃってだめでした。全て納得のいくおいしさでした。





見事な桜。Beautiful sakura.
Ryoko is pretending ring the bell. This goofy girl has a goofy sister. 涼子は鐘を鳴らしているふり。いやはや…。この妹にしてこの姉あり。



涼子「このラーメンすごくおいしいから絶対食べてみて。」
Ryoko :"This ramen is soooooo good. You need to try it."

Market has a lot of interesting stuff. These are famous dried fish.
マーケットには面白いものがいっぱい。これは特産の干物。
We bought a lot of stuff and these two got high points. 1. Meat dumpling bigger than her face. 2. The vivid red coat for Mom. いろいろ買ったものの内、二つを紹介。1.顔より大きい肉まん。2.ママの真っ赤なコート。

The red coat stands out at the hotel lobby, too :)
赤いコートはホテルのロビーでも映える。




Mom and Steven waiting for Ryoko and me to finish shopping....
ママとStevenが涼子と私の買い物をすむのを待っているところ…
Went to a Samgetang restaurant for dinner. Samgetang is a whole chicken stew with Korean herb and Jinseng. So tasty!! Had Chijimi which is green onion pancake. Yummy!夕食はサムゲタン専門店へ。鶏が丸ごと朝鮮人参やハーブで煮込んであってとってもおいしい!ねぎ焼きのようなチジミと一緒にいただきました。



Me, Steven and Sascha. Sascha doesn't like Kimchi so he is having a hard time here.
