This year's New Year holidays for elementary school students are a little longer.
Just like during summer vacation, ``I don't know what to do.''
It's a long holiday that makes us realize how grateful we are for the schools and daycare centers that educate our children every day.
I usually work all the time, so I have to prepare lunch and do a lot of laundry.
I also have to monitor the progress of homework etc.
It can be quite difficult partly because I'm not used to it.
I am humbled by the teachers who see the majority of the children's day.
From New Year's Eve until about the third day, I stayed at my parents' house.
The children also seemed happy to have ``Grandpa and Grandma'' with them, who they don't usually get to see.
When we see children happy, we feel happy too.
That too will come to an end.
“What should we do for the rest of the week?”
At the end of the year, my husband and I were discussing our New Year's plans.
Recently, I have had many opportunities to watch Korean tourist information on TV.
As overseas travel has begun to be lifted little by little,
``Let's go to Korea or Taiwan for about 2 nights!'' and searched for plans.
Surprisingly, there are empty seats on the plane and cheap hotels.
But I realize something important...
"My younger child doesn't have a passport."
For the past three years, I haven't been able to go abroad due to the coronavirus.
I completely forgot about my passport (lol)
It will take at least one week to apply and receive your passport.
However, since the year-end and New Year holidays are also around, I don't think I'll be able to go during the winter break.
“If this happens, let’s go to Hokkaido or Okinawa.”
In Hokkaido in winter, the food is not only delicious, but also
It also snows a lot, which the kids will definitely love.
But when we imagine ourselves chasing a child frolicking around outside in a cold region,
Even though I don't like the cold, I run and sweat.
After that, it is easy to imagine that the whole family will catch a cold.
So I decided to go to Okinawa for 1 night and 2 days!
I've been to Okinawa since the store opening event a few years ago.
However, when my family travels to Okinawa, it always rains heavily.
This is not unique to Okinawa, but this time it was miraculously sunny during the day.
Conditions are perfect with warm temperatures around early spring.
My plan was to spend some time relaxing in the city of Naha, so I chose a hotel with an indoor pool.
At night, we go to pubs on Kokusai Street.
This was probably the first time I went to a pub with my child.
To finish off my meal, I went to a local Okinawa soba restaurant.
Since I left early, I returned to the hotel by 7 o'clock.
The next day is a famous place in Okinawa? I mainly went to "Nago Pineapple Park" ,
This place is so wonderful that I'm impressed.
The temperature was warm and I was feeling excited,
Churaumi Aquarium was about 30 minutes away by car, so I decided to go!
I went to Churaumi Aquarium with some friends right after I got married.
It's been about 15 years since I last saw it, but I'm still impressed no matter how many times I see it.
Due to the good location as well as the inside of the hotel,
The unusual atmosphere is really nice.
It was a sudden trip to Okinawa, but
I think it was a good experience to see the children happy.
Since my youngest child is small, it is still difficult to travel as a family.
Maybe it's better if it's a little spicy to make memories of the trip.
Next time, I would like to go to Korea, which is my dream.
