Cherry blossoms, octopus gardens and Vikings, oh my


Here is a pictorial recount of our weekend.

First we visit Nago Castle Ruins for the Cherry Blossom Festival. It's the earliest cherry blossom festival in all of Japan.







Then we went to Expo Park for the flower festival there.





And we wrapped up the weekend by attending a Minnesota Vikings cheerleaders show.

Vikings cheerleading show? That is random!

The USO brought them here for the Super Bowl. The team was here for three days doing shows at all the restaurants for the Marines, soldiers, airmen, sailors, etc. But yes, it is pretty random that it was the Minnesota Vikings cheerleaders. And these girls were amazed that Benny was from Minnesota and in the Navy living in Oki. What a small world.
