Tokyo.

We finally got the chance to take our big vacation!  The plan was to fly "Space A(vailable)" on military flights until we ran out of time, then buy a ticket home.  We had ten days to see where we could go.  Adventurous, yes?  So we started by hopping a flight to Tokyo.  The first thing we did after arriving was wander around looking for a tasty ramen/soba restaurant.  On the way, we found this AMAZING park.  Ben has been raving about Japan's super-sweet parks since we met, but this one exceeded my expectations.  


You know those metal roller conveyor belts?  The giant slides were made of those metal rollers!


If we didn't have the awesome camera, we would've been a blur cause we were going so FAST!


See.  Even with the pro camera, Ben is still a little blurry!




Then Ben made me take a picture at "MegMilk" and we made jokes about it for the rest of the trip.


The next day, we took four trains and a bus to Mt. Fuji.



Apparently, you can only climb the whole thing in July and August.  So we just hiked around in the short time we had.  The top of Mt. Fuji.


The panoramic views were unbelievable!


These overpriced touristy shops were fun.



Hiking around.



On the way back to the hotel.  It was an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience.


The next day, we caught another flight...
