Lotsa Stuff

First of all, check out this video that Nathan made. He built the set himself - he loves to make booby traps.



This week our kids are at "Cousin Camp" in Knoxville. I understand that the boys built a go-cart yesterday with Poppa - I'll be anxious to hear how that went.
Here is a picture of the T-shirts Rebecca made for all the cousins. I thought they turned out cute. They say "My cousins are nuts from the same family tree."



Lastly, I thought I'd give you an update on our Panasonic Trip.

Right now we are set to fly out at 7:13 am on August 18th. We will be connecting through Detroit and then Japan. Once we get to Detroit, we will be traveling with lots of Panasonic folks. Panasonic is a big Olympic sponsor and is sending lots of their execs. These are the first Olympics to be broadcast entirely in high definition. We will be staying the first three nights at the Kuntai Royal Hotel in Beijing and will then be moving to The Grand Epoch City resort - which is a resort built to look like the old city of Beijing. The first place is closer to the Olympics, and the second place is closer to sightseeing.

On the way back, Panasonic has given us permission to layover in Japan at our own expense, but we have to decide by tomorrow. So we're looking into things to do and places to stay in Tokyo if we decide to do that.

Your trip will be so much fun! I think you should definitely stay over in Japan for a few days. When would you ever have the opportunity to get to Japan (and back home again) for free?? Nathan's video is cute, and I love the t-shirts!

We decided to layover 4 days in Japan on our return trip. We haven't fleshed out the details yet, but we will probably stay in and around Tokyo. Panasonic is helping us a little in figuring out where to stay and may provide a tour guide one day. Panasonic's headquarters are in Osaka, Japan.
