Howdy! Hey, guess where I went on Saturday?! Hello Kitty's home----Sanrio Puroland! We finally made it there after talking about it for a while now. We went with friends from Zach's office and had a great time. Ali and Kevin brought their two girls, Alenya and Kaitlyn, and Sarah and Darrel joined us as well. The guys were great sports about the whole thing, and Zach and Kevin did a lot of the planning. The girls just enjoyed the day and soaked in the Land of Hello Kitty to their hearts' content. The biggest attractions at this theme park are the theatrical shows, but since we don't know very much Japanese and the lines were long, we chose to check out some of the other sights. One of my favorite highlights was the boat ride around the park, which was similar to Disney's It's a Small World ride, but with Sanrio characters. Unfortunately my photos on that ride didn't turn out so well, but I got photos of lots of other things.
Of course a visit to this marvelous place was not complete without a stop at Hello Kitty's house and a personal visit with her. And the shopping was incredible! Anything and everything you can think of has been Hello Kittyfied. I was pretty good, but I couldn't resist getting a red Hello Kitty watch that I saw in the display case. (Some who know me also know that I have a thing about watches. It's okay guys, really.)
So, all in all, it was a great Saturday and one I will never forget. And Zach probably won't forget it either. Thank you, dear husband!

Yay! The Hello Kitty post! I have some pictures from inside the tunnel that I will send you, along with some pictures of you and Zach. I tried to send them together, but the email was too big. I stole some of your pictures to add to my Hello Kitty picture file. :) Hope you don't mind! :D
Wow. Zach is now within his rights to take you to every war museum he can find. ;-)

Can I just say...this kinda scares me, but in a good way.

That there is some hard-core Kitty.
"Sanrio Puroland" doesn't quite have the same ring as Disneyland, but it looks pretty cool!
So now I'm curious---does Hello Kitty have a name in Japanese or do they call her "Hello Kitty" in Japan? It looks like at least some of the signs/graphics were in English. ---Carol
