Japan Journey's Part 4 ~ Aquarium and Osaka Castle

We are becoming quite the pro's on the Japanese Rail system. We have traversed all over the place in these cool trains :-) Today we were off to the Aquarium and Osaka Castle



Bententcho Station :-)


These two are all about "Mom take a picture" and posing




Ferris Wheel that takes 14 minutes to make a complete rotation. 



The views were spectacular ~ Port of Osaka



Aquarium 




Mom!!! I wanna be in that Whale Sharks mouth!!


Otters and Seals and penguins Oh MY!




Kids loved to see the real Whale Shark


Mike ~ "Mom, I want to be a SCUBA man when I get a little bit grown up so I can swim like that"

A man after our hearts!!! I would love to dive with my kids one day


Hammerhead and this cool fish who just hung out with his mouth open for the longest time




SHARKS!!!


CJ wanted nothing to do with this part of the Aquarium



Kid kills me... He sleeps anywhere.. Trains make for good naps :-)


Osaka Castle Park


Man.. This place was gorgeous


This Castle is Japan's most famous landmark. According to the inside museum, this castle played a huge role in the unification of Japan back in the 16th century



The birds eye view of the Castle compound



Mike and Ash were fascinated with the Samurai Warriors


View of Osaka from the castle observatory




Green Tea and Vanilla ice cream ~ Quite delicious



I swear CJ was on this trip too :-) He has strong feelings against taking pictures



The scenery was really pretty and I could not help but to get "artsy" with some of my pictures





The colors were beautiful



These plants were interesting



CJ apparently had enough for one day ~ This is 4 in the afternoon 




And he continued his nap through dinner


A little shopping ~ Yes... CJ was still sleeping on one of our shoulders



Our Hotel



We shopped for hats for Will ~ He's so handsome


And CJ is still sleeping :-)
