"I have nothing to do, dad!"
My daughter Hikari is in a spring holidays.
"Well, let’s go to the beach after cleaning up the guest room today!"
It was very warm and we didn’t have a wind here in Shirahama today.
When we got to the beach my children started to run on the sand without shoe. …..
Today it was very warm too!
So I went to Shirahama Ohama Beach with my son Yuuki.
When we arrived at the beach we got of the shoes and started to run to the waters soon.
Actually the water is too cold, but my son was very excited there…..
Today my son Yuuki and I went to "Shirahama Chuou Beach" by car.
When we were going down the hill to Route 135 we found the blue sea after about 1 week.
In these days we had not be able to see the sea and the mountain clearly.
After parking our car at the parking lot near the beach we got into the beach soon.
When we got to the seaside the tide was at its lowest and there were rocks along the beach side…..
Minami Sakura (Cherry Blossoms) and Nanohana (Rape Blossoms) festival which started on February 5 was finished yesterday, March 10.
As my wife wanted to go to Shimoda for shopping my son and I went together and we went to Minami Izu town to see the flowers.
In Shimogamo there is a big field of rape blossoms and when we got to this field my son started to run into the rape blossoms. ……
It was yesterday afternoon.
When I was working in my office my daughter, Hikari came to my ofiice and said,
"Come on, dad! Hurry up!"
Before that my children, Akari, Hikari and Yuuki were playing together in a dinning room downstairs.
And I heard that Hikari said to my son Yuuki,
"Are you sleepy, Yuuki?"
So I knew why my daughter called me and I went to the dinning room with my camera soon ….
Last night we had a strong wind and heavy rain here in Shirahama. Yes, it seemed like typhoon.
But today it was very beautiful day, so I went to the small port to see the ships with my son, Yuuki.
It takes about 40 minutes by walking from Sakuraya.
There were many kinds of small and big ships.
Yuuki said,
"I want to get on that ship, dad!"
I understand him but there was nobody and we couldn’t get on without permission. ……
Last week I went to Suzaki Walking Trail for the first time with my son, Yuuki.
I moved to Shimoda 15 years ago but I have never been there.
There is a bus line from Shimoda station but we went there by car this time.
The walking trail is 2,8km. I think this is not long but we can walk on the seaside looking Izu seven islands and ships going across the sea…..
As my son, Yuuki wanted to go somewhere we went to the beach today.
Have you ever been to Sotoura Beach in Shimoda?
This beach is located between Shirahama and Shimoda town and it takes only 3 or 4 minutes by car from Sakuraya.
There is a parking lot in front of the beach and it is free except busy season, so it is very convnient to park and play on the beach.
In addition this beach is a big creek so they don’t have big wave here.
It is very helpful for the children who don’t like big wave.
We came back to Shirahama beach after that…..
Yesterday and today it have been sunny and beutiful day in Shirahama.
I can’t believe that we had snow the day before yesterday here.
After I picked my daughter up on the way to home from school we went to the beach with my son, Yuuki…..
Don’t you think we have a lot of snow this year?
Last week we had snow in Izu peninsula, but there was no snow in Shimoda.
So I was thinking to take my children to Amagi mountain play with snow, and I went there with my daughter, my son and my daughter’s friend after I finished to clean the guest rooms…..
