The Odaiba Date

My Dear Daughter,

Sunday we had a terrific date together. Of course you are only 2 years 7 months but I call it a date. We left the house at about 12 noon and left by bycycle to Hinode-Sanbashi where the water-bus "boats" leave. From there we took the yellow boat to Odaiba - beach where we played and kicked in the sand.
There on the sand I bought you a frankfurter but you didnt like that and refused to eat it. So we went back to the beach and saw some guy feeding the birds with bread crumbs. He gave us some bread crumbs to give to the pigeons and seagulls. The seagulls would fly all around and you kept saying birds--birds--birds while pointing at them.
When we ran out of bread crumbs you asked for pan-pan (your word for bread) so I went and bought you a churro. I tried to feed you the churro but you turned your head because you were not used to the shape of churro's so I had to feed it to you forcefully. After you got some of the sugar on your lips you asked for more and even held it yourself.
From there we went to Joyopolis. Joyopolis is a arcade amusement center in Odaiba. There were not too many games or rides that you could get on at that age so we took a picture on the Mickey Mouse car and pounded on the alligator game, etc. and then moved on (the weather was too good to stay in there!).
From there we went to the ferris wheel and you immediately asked to get off but as we started to look around you started to enjoy yourself. We did the whole loop and you pointed at the boats the train(monorail) and Tokyo Tower. From there we went to the other pier in Odaiba (near the ferris wheel) and waited for the next boat to take us back to Hinode-sanbashi.
This time we rode a white boat back and halfway through we started throwing the popcorn (what you call snack) and again the birds would gather all around and catch the kernels we would throw. Once again you were quite excited and once we were off the boat you demanded we go back and ride a boat again.
From there we rode the bicycle home (halfway you ate a nikuman dumpling) and when we got home Daddy started to take a nap -- secretly hoping that you would sleep too or play by yourself. Well you too fell asleep and you slept right on daddy's face.

It was a fantastic date!
