It's funny, I don't remember just taking off and running over to Japan during my fall breaks from school. Crossed the 14th Street bridge a few times, but somehow, it doesn't quite pack the same impact.

My granddaughter at age 5 has been to more countries than I have at age 57…

Of course, I am very happy that my son and his husband are able to give her such opportunities, as I’m sure you are. 🙂
