The ferry that we took to Hokkaido
Japanese style room on the ferry. Jonas is getting ready to have a tea party. Just as in every room in Japan, we had all the necessary supplies for some green tea (in that black container.)
Jonas enjoyed exploring the ferry.
Dad is trying to teach him to play video games already...We might have another Holden on our hands.

Our first campsite
I was surprised to see these flowers in October!
I had to chase this woman down to get Jonas back.

He had on many layers including a full body coat.
Just drinking our morning coffee.
Checking out the penguins.
Here are the hip Osaka kids. They went crazy snapping pics of Jonas. The boys were the first to approach us.
No caption necessary
He loved those stuffed bears.

Feeding rabbits at a farm near Lake Toya.
Jonas tried to walk into the lake.
See how he is about to climb over this structure...
We were without internet all week until our final night. When I asked about the internet, I was given this clear box with a modem. We called it the internet box and I told Jason it was his anniversary gift. He had been dying to know the scores of all of the playoff games. This was not our first trip during baseball playoffs. Once while camping in WI, we had to seek out a random bar in the middle of nowhere to watch a playoff game. Baseball...
I wasn't quite sure why the hotel had these odd looking figures. This is in Japan...
Morning Market in Hakodate, Hokkaido
Squid
We watched this guy slice up this salmon.
Jonas enjoyed this corn from the morning market. In fact, he bowed to the woman who gave it to him.
The ferry ride home --which was treacherous.
