Ashikaga Flower Park






For Mother's Day, while Chad was working, the girls and I took the train to a Ashikaga. First, I have to say what troopers Lauren and Allie are. They sat on the train for three hours and 5 transfers so that I could go to a flower park that one of my students told me about.

It was a beautiful day, a little on the warm side. At one point during walking around the flower park Lauren said "Mommy, I am SO hot, is there anyway I can get an ice cream cone to cool me off?" My kind of girl!



We really enjoyed our day. The flower park had Wisteria in bloom. One of the trees was 140 years old. We walked around, took lots of pictures of the flowers, stopped for lunch and then played on the park and had ice cream. After they park we took a taxi to Ashikaga Gakko which is the oldest school known in Japan. Stay tuned for my next post on that.

Here they are on the train home "sleeping".
