The week before Christmas we went to Nagano with some friends. Nagano is up north and in 1998 hosted the winter olympics. We had such an amazing trip, as you can see by the TONS of photos.
We stayed at a traditional Japanese inn called a Ryokan. This is the room--it is a tatami mat that at night they lay out futons and you sleep on the floor.
This was our breakfast the next morning--they brought out tons of food and many different courses--have the stuff we had no idea what it was, but most of it was good.
Our breakfast--basically the only thing we recognized was eggs and a green salad. We would all take turns trying something on our plate and then tell the others if it was good!

Right outside our ryokan was a famous Buddhist Temple--you can see it behind us.

Eric in front of the buddhist statues--he even color coordinates with them!
The temple--it was snowing and made everything so pretty.
Prayer cards you can buy.

Cade loved chasing the birds.
Cade and I--you can barely see us!
A school group of Japanese kids--they always wear brightly colored hats and they are just so cute!
