Sweets and Eats

Last weekend Peter took off a little early on Friday. It was a sunny day and we were out for a drive. We ended up in Hiroshima and of course our trip revolved around food. We did a little window shopping and then came across the Stick Sweets Factory. We went in for coffee and cake. Peter got a strawberry something or other and an espresso and I got a caramel something or other with a latte. I always make a better choice when it comes to food. This time he did though. Sweets here in Japan are 1/2 the sweetness of what you would expect so that is always something to keep in mind.

Right before Cora dropped a whole glass of water on Peter making it look like he peed himself. Good times… haha…

Then Peter found his favorite hamburger place. Luckily we have one here in Iwakuni as well.

My angel

We don’t do bows often…but darn she sure is sweet!

It’s about food…of course!

Our friends Ben, Amber, and Sophia moved back to the states last weekend. On their last night Ben was craving this place something fierce. So we knew it had to be good and went to check it out. It is another ramen/soba place. They are all pretty similar. It is a staple food here. This place however had tons of seasonings. They bring the food kind of plain and you spice it up yourself. Instead of water they served tea as well. And no, not sweet ice tea. I WISH. Good ol green tea. So that was a little unique to the other places we have been. Anyways….it was pretty tasty. I’d recommend it. 

Mmmm…..And they had these huge spoons to just shovel the food in your mouth. Move out of the way chop sticks!

Whoa girl

That is some crazy hair ya got there!

Wedding Bliss
