Yesterday morning, we hopped in the car and drove up North for one last day trip to Emerald Beach, Churaumi Aquarium and the end of orchid season at the tropical gardens. We got to introduce John Shea to the whale sharks and put his little hands in the touch tank with star fish and sea cucumbers, though, the jury’s still out if he was more fascinated by the fishies or by all the adoring Japanese grandmothers and families who stopped to say hi to him! Cam and I shared lunch and Orion beer on draft while the three of us sat and watched the sharks, dolphins, tunas, rays and schools of fish swim by. It could not have been a more beautiful day.
And with that, we have three more weekends left on Okinawa…

Carmen Smith says
Hi there! Beautiful pics. Long time blog reader and our sons are 2 weeks apart! What kind of carrier does your husband have your little guy in? I still use a wrap but I think my guy would like to face out now that he's getting bigger and I know you can't do that with wraps. Best of luck on your new adventures!
Marshall says
Thank you, Carmen! It's the Infantino carrier that I found on base for a whopping $18. He loves it far more than my beautiful wrap that I spent a small fortune on! 🙂
Cara says
That little man is going to be a heart breaker. These photos are beautiful as always. Where to after Okinawa?
Marshall says
He sure is!! Saw your other comment on my earlier post — thank you!! We're really excited.
Allyssa @ Lovely Allyssum says
So beautiful! Your little man is getting SO big! I can't believe how much he's grown!
Marshall says
Thank you! I say the same thing every day… He's not really a baby anymore….
Caroline says
How pretty is this?! He is going to be SO proud one day that he was born in this stunning country!
Marshall says
I hope so!! 🙂
Mary Grace M says
