Thanksgiving at Lake Yamanaka

This year for Thanksgiving we went and stayed in cabins at Lake Yamanaka. It is at the base of Mt. Fuji. We stayed in some cabins with 5 other families (3 of which were good friends). We had a lot of fun. The lake is about 100 yards from our cabins--it was gorgeous. Here are a couple of pictures!
The kids and I on a walk by the lake--Mt. Fuji in the background--as you can tell, we had some amazing views of Fuji!
Cute Kailey!
They had this giant swan boat you could ride on around the lake
Tons of fishermen on the lake

The toilet in our hotel--this is a typical Japanese toilet. The best thing, is the heated seat--nothing better than sitting on a warm toilet seat. Also, when you flush, water comes out the faucet at the top so you can wash your hands--the kids loved it!

Swan boats, costumes during races, heated toilet seats, and faucets out of the back of toilets--those Japanese think of everything!

Congrats on the 27k, I've only ever done a 5k! You put me to shame! LOL, and I have to agree, that is the coolest toilet I've ever seen. But my favorite is the swan boat, SO COOL!
