Life as a military wife and mother of 3: Hiroshima Trip

Well, Rob finally had a day off so we went to Hiroshima to do some shopping. We started at Costco. I went to get a membership, and the lady helping me spoke English very well. It made the process very easy. When I went to pay for the membership, I had a Japanese guy but the lady that had helped me was standing next to him. He was talking and I was shaking my head saying yes like I always do. Afterwards, she said did you understand anything he just said, and I said no, not a word. She started laughing and said she was the same way when she was in the states. It turns out she was married to an American and lived in Idaho for 7 years. Interesting story. Next, we went on the search for a Starbucks and ended up in a very cool area that I can't wait to go back to. There were lots of American stores and some neat Japanese ones as well. Towards the end of our trip, these Japanese girls came rushing up and wanted to touch our kids hair. The kids were good sports until one asked for a hug from Parker. He refused and went to hide behind a sign. Cooper waved and did his cute Cooper thing, but he got tired of it after about two minutes also. Lol. Bella was with a whole different group of girls who wanted to take their pictures with her. I missed all of this bc I was with Cooper. She was a good sport. She said they put their arms around her and she flashed them the peace sign for the picture. One girl asked her where she was from. When she told her Texas, the girl said oh cowboy. Lol. It was a good day, and I made some fun purchases.
