📷 ✈️ We took a trip to Japan this past summer. My wife does synchronized swimming and the worlds competition was in Kagoshima, so we made a family trip out of it. Unfortunately, the competition got cut short because of a typhoon warning, but we had an amazing time in Kyoto and Tokyo. Here’s some photos from the trip!
