And Then There Were Four: Don & Leanne's Visit to Okinawa (Days 4-6)

More highlights from Don and Leanne's adventurous visit to Okinawa!

Forest Adventure Park



All harnessed up



The flower of the week: HIBISCUS!



We put them through a lot - they kept up well!



Check out this video clip of Leanne zip-lining:




Just a little bit of a workout




Check out this video clip of Don zip-lining:




Me on one of the zip-lines



Leanne crossing one of the bridges



Matt at the top






Leanne mentally preparing to do the Tarzan Swing






Don doing the Tarzan Swing






This obstacle may look easy, but I think it was just as difficult as the Tarzan Swing!



Finish Line! Now let's go again! (And we did:)



Coconut milk out of a coconut



Delicious subs



I think we forgot to give Leanne the "yellow shirt" memo



Snorkeling at Maeda Flats



Sea Urchins



Leanne standing on some flat-top coral



Swimming in tide pools



These little guys were everywhere



Our favorite Ramen Noodle restaurant - much better than the kind in the Styrofoam cups!



Matt and I with our ice cream waffles - Leanne was holding out for some more Yogurtland:)



Playing pointless coin games at the SEGA Arcade



Don & Leanne get to experience the craziness that is the Japanese dashboard...Pink & Fuzzy & Carebears, oh my!



Cape Zampa Lighthouse



Don & Leanne overlooking the East China Sea



Matt showing his parents where he works (Futenma)



Cactus Cafe






Cocok's amazing pedicures






Is it possible to have too many nail design options??



Its almost impossible to choose!






Our toes!



Can't come to Okinawa without visiting PETBOX



I could tell Don really wanted to take this big beetle back home to Chicago, but Leanne wouldn't let him




Check out this video clip of the beetles for sale (a very common pet for Japanese children BTW):




More sushi & fried rice coming our way!







Thanks for following our adventures - I still have another post or two from Don & Leanne's trip (we just did SO much!)

  1. I'm so excited to read all this. I had just commented at work that it was two weeks ago today we arrived home...how much fun we had and that I wish we could do more with you. (A co-worker came over and commented on all the fun we had, seen through your wonderful blog! Thanks Dawn!) GREAT MEMORIES! Where do I begin! The Zip-lining, the pedicure, the...sooo much fun and the beetles were so disgusting. Snorkeling - well, I've got a world of memories from that experience to share-some to try and forget, as well. Love you guys! Thanks - THANKS for the Memories! xo
