A day of pretty views and choo choos



Today wrapped up what I would consider a perfect weekend. Just the right amount of laying around and just the right amount of going out.  If you wondered what we did on Saturday please see the previous post.  Today being Sunday and playoff season, Greg was up at 6:30 am, in order to watch the football game live.  The game finished just in time to make it to 10am mass. On a little side note, I find church to be so comforting, it's exactly the same here as it's always been. I know that my parents and inlaws are hearing the exact same readings, we are saying the exact same prayers, it's comforting in a way I can't describe. Enough of that, on with the day.  After church we went to brunch at a base we hadn't been to before Futenma. It was a delicious brunch and an amazing view, as shown in the picture above.  They also had the game on, so we got to see the Arizona Cardinals win.  After a relaxing afternoon of Gabi napping and Greg watching a Kings game on tv here, we went to a park with the Brooms. 
It is lovingly called the Train Slide park, because there is a huge train slide, also pictured above.  Gabriella and Mallory had a great time playing and exploring the park. After the park the Brooms invited us over for dinner, which we graciously accepted. It was a great meal, chili, warm corn bread and pesto chicken pasta.  Yummy!! After dinner we got our digestion going with a little Wii.  I didn't win any of the games, but I had a good time playing.  Then we played some Xbox Karaoke. We sang a lot of songs, some good, some bad.  The night culminated on Material Girl, where Rachel and I, singing in Duet mode got 50,000 points, a perfect score. It was a great way to cap off a great weekend.
