At 6 years old, my daughter’s love for dinosaurs has not waned. It’s one of the reasons why my mom planned a birthday weekend in Clark, because there’s a Dinosaurs Island there. Akira was super excited, but it also got us thinking – how is this one different from the one in Baguio? The most … More Birthday weekend in Clark: Dinosaurs Island and Rolling Bread
Traveling with a 3-year old to a different country entails a great amount of compromise. We’ve learned that one sure way for all of us to enjoy the trip and keep sane is to keep to our daughter’s typical day as much as possible. We were mindful of her nap time. We also looked out … More Farewell Fukuoka: Postscript on a family’s first visit
If you had one last day to enjoy Fukuoka, and you have little kids with you, make the most of it with a day in JR Hakata City. JR Hakata City refers to the building complex that includes Hakata Station. It is a tourist attraction in itself. Hakata station is the largest and busiest in … More Farewell Fukuoka: A day in JR Hakata City
Mr. Roboto is mostly about fun and interesting flavor combinations for makis. Dinner was just for three (technically two and a half), so we couldn’t try a lot of the other dishes. We had the pork katsu, the Mazinger Z, and I just had to try the dirty corn. The Mazinger Z – consisting of … More Fun makis and dirty corn at Mr. Roboto
My daughter just turned five, and these photos are giving me all the feels! When we traveled to Fukuoka, Japan, we didn’t expect for it to be as child friendly as it was. Museums were a joy to visit, and we found incredibly fun places for a three-year old to lose the day in, with little … More Born to play at BorneLund’s Kid-O-Kid
Little grandchildren are just about the apple of the eye of everyone. Especially my daughter. The first granddaughter from my side of the family and my husband’s, the amount of attention and care she is showered with is borderline ridiculous. She turned five this April. It was a birthday lunch and a birthday dinner, and … More Birthday lunch, birthday dinner
Fukuoka, Japan has just the thing for visiting families with small children. It’s big, it’s fun, and it’s uniquely Japanese. We were not familiar at all with the cartoon characters featured in this conveniently located indoor theme park. Majority of the visitors were Japanese, in fact, but the place did remind us of Kidzoona, only … More Fun, fun, fun at the Anpanman Children’s Museum
Traveling with a kid can potentially get in the way of having fun, especially when it’s as hot as it was in Fukuoka, Japan. For parents like us – eager to escape the intense summer heat, and get a chance to rest and stretch our aching legs and backs for a bit – I find … More Art museum tripping in Fukuoka
We typically have lunch out after church service, and we had our first Sunday family lunch of the year in Soban K-Town Grill in Greenbelt. This restaurant has been here for a while, but it’s our first time to try it. It’s ideal for families and big groups mainly because the group sets are worth … More Soban family lunch
It’s as popular as ever from the time we were here last in 2016. It was good to be walking, going up and down steps, and be surrounded by much greenery in Pinto Art Museum again, especially after a hearty (albeit discouraging) lunch in Vieux Chalet. The senses also had a good exercise. There were … More Pinto Part II
