Tokyo is a very busy place. Most people compare it to New York City and I would have to agree with that idea. There are so many skyscrapers and billboards and expensive stores, like Tiffany's, Louis Vuitton, and Armani.
We stayed at the Hotel Nikko. It is the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in. Everything was extremely clean and very large (by Japan standards). On the morning of check-out, Caleb decided to jump into the elevator first when the doors shut before anyone else could get in there with him. We were on the 8th floor. I panicked!!!! What if he got off on another floor, where could he end up, who would find him???? Not to mention that he must have been terrified!!! We all split up and checked different floors. Grandpa found him on the first floor, in the lobby, surrounded by several of the female clerks. I'm not sure that he really understood what had happened, but I think for the first time I realized what true fear feels like. I lost my breath, I couldn't feel my heart beating anymore, I was lost. What a horrible feeling!!!!
Our last stop before heading home was the Imperial Palace. As we were walking up the hill, Riley was being pushed in his stroller and was fast asleep with the cover over him, with just his toes exposed to the air. Everyone who passed us commented and pointed. We kinda thought maybe they must really like toes.....but when we got to the top of the hill we were overwhelmed with people wanting to look at Riley and then Caleb. People wanted to take their picture with my kids...it was kinda weird.....there we were visiting the Imperial Palace and (Japanese) people wanted to take pictures of my kids.
Our two day visit to Tokyo was awesome and exhausting. We walked alot and seen alot and spent great time together.
