Sunday Afternoon - Local Style

Poor Connor is still sick - even a little worse today than yesterday.  We think it's just your standard cold, but a nasty one, and he did have a very slight fever last night so we started giving him Infant Tylenol (huge thanks to Sylvia for the tip to pack that!)  Fever is gone today, but the other symptoms are still in full swing.  We postponed our lunch plans with Dylan's business associate and his family because we didn't want to spread any germs and also we wanted to just keep things low-key and close to home for Connor.  We decided to walk to Yamashita Park and see what it's like on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.  We passed by a street performer with a nice-sized crowd of locals watching, then a ton of families picnicking, playing frisbee and enjoying the sunny t-shirt weather.  Next we checked out the bottom deck of the Hikawa Maru (fascinating history here) and purchased Seventeen brand ice cream from a vending machine. Finally as we ventured to the northeastern end of the park, we listened to some live music that was part of the Kanagawa Music Summit, whose slogan is "All You Need is Music, Music is All You Need."  Connor even got a balloon that made him excited at first, then angry, and we ended up having to pop it so that it would stop teasing him.  He seemed to really enjoy getting out and seeing the sights, and we are really hoping that he's feeling better tomorrow.
