Classic Car Festival in Jingu Gaien

After separating from Ton & papa who went to ice skate, we walked to Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery to check out Classic Car Festival organized by Toyota. Mo took a quick tour, he liked Mitsubishi Jeep the most. Then we saw a friend of his from kindergarten and that boy's sister with family. They walked around, played around, and saw those classic cars run away. Photos here .

Cooking class at elementary school

Annual cooking class for parents at elementary school. Theme for this time was to cook vegetable pasta dishes, and the instructor was from an Italian restaurant called KNOCK in Roppongi. It was fun and quite busy class as we cooked pasta one after another in 2 hours. Thank you very much for organizing it! Photos here .

Lunch with sick girl at Pointage, Azabu Juban

She had fever and cough was very bad, so skipped school and took her to see Dr. It took about 2 hours, and it was lunch time by the time we finished collecting medicines. Didn't want her walk too much, we hit a bread shop close by for sit down lunch. I totally forgot how this place got crowded during lunch. We got there around 11:20, and in 10 min, there were about 20 people waiting outside...! Dr. prescribe antibiotic so that her swelling throat would get better soon, and her tummy is very loose now. I guess that means it's working. Hope she gets better tomorrow so that she can go to school, as it's going to be a open school day tomorrow.

Local hand made peanut butter ! Super good you can't go back to the mass production ones...
