We are the Stuarts (formerly of Imperial) now residing in Okinawa, Japan.

This blog started from a desire to bridge the miles as we were preparing to leave the USA for 3+ years. It has turned into much more. It's part travel diary, part personal reflection, part "sociology of military life" and part mommy-blog. We hope you read something here that is interesting to you (or at least not a total waste of your time).

Another Feb Bday


Wow, there are lots of February birthdays around here. So much awesomeness in the air, I almost can't stand it!


Joy's hubs (also a Chaplain) is in Korea with Cliff, which is a total bummer when it's your birthday, especially. What were we to do? Hit Kokusai St. for some Teppanyaki and tourist fun, that's what!



This is actually the first place Cliff and I went to on date here on Okinawa. We took his boss to the airport the day after Christmas...two days after I arrived on island, and took a detour to Kokusai St. on our way home. I mostly just walked around in shock, with my mouth hanging open, but we did have an awesome lunch here. I thought Joy would probably like it, too.



I was right...she loved it.



What's not to love, right? (Not pictured, garlic rice)



We had lots of fun taking pics with all the cutouts and statues, just like the kids.



And as an added bonus, I found Lychee sorbet! Kokusai St. is now the closest place I've found it (almost an hour away from us) but it's a LOT closer than the next closest place I've found it...Tokyo. I'll take it. Have you ever had it? If you get a chance, eat some. It's pure heaven.



Peace out.
