One of our most favorite things we have seen in Okinawa are the cherry blossoms. We took the road up Mt. Yaedake for the annual cherry blossom festival the beginning of February. The only word to describe it is beautiful. We were so glad that we decided to go because it ended up being so much better than last year. We hit the blossoms at just the right time. It was like driving through a tunnel of pink blossoms. We were in awe the whole way. I loved it. Jack brought his camera along and was having fun snapping some pictures of the trees.
I feel like most of these pictures don't do it justice.

The kids loved the fun park and the little rides at the festival. Even Taylor was happy to be out of his stroller and hanging out at the park. It made for a really great day.

After the festival, we continued up the mountain to enjoy a breathtaking view from the top. Unfortunately, the traffic on the way home was insane and it ended up taking us 2.5 hours to get home. It's only about an hour and ten minute drive. :( But after all is said and done, I'd say it was worth it.
