One day tour with my famlily

Yesterday was my birthday, and I turned 65. Thank you all for the congratulatory messages on Facebook or other media. I would like to express my gratitude once again.Turning 60, Kanreki; according to the Chinese calendar, a combination of zodiac animals and cosmic elements that consists 60 years, and the 60th birthday marks the one cycle of this, and it was a turning point in many ways, but 65 is also a turning point that makes me feel like an elderly person, as I am now fully paid out of my pension and can use senior discounts at various facilities.Yesterday, my wife, son and I went on a one-day trip to Boso in Chiba for the first time in a while. Recently, my son has been busy with school and part-time work, and it has been difficult to coordinate his schedules with my wife’s part-time work, so we have had fewer opportunities to go out together. Also, my son will finally start working as a full-time employee from April, so it looks like we will have even fewer opportunities to go out together, so on the last day of my son’s winter break from school, we enjoyed a short trip together with all member of my family for the first time in a while.

Initially, I had planned to have breakfast on the Boso Peninsula, then take a ferry across Tokyo Bay and do some sightseeing on the Miura Peninsula in Kanagawa, but yesterday the wind was strong and the waves in Tokyo Bay were high, so the ferry was canceled, so we ended up spending some time relaxing in Chiba.

Delicious seafood

First, we went to a seafood restaurant run by the fishing cooperative and had a super-large bowl of tempura and enjoyed many types of sashimi raw fish, of horse mackerel. It would be difficult to order such a large bowl of tempura unless I shared it with my son, who is a big eater. After that, I took a look at the daffodils, which were in best season, did some shopping at the agricultural cooperative’s farmer’s market, and relaxed at a day spa in Chiba City. My son doesn’t like beer as much as I do, so he offered to drive without drinking any after the spa, so I was happy to be able to enjoy a blissful moment with a cold beer.So, we didn’t do any sightseeing and just took it easy, but I think my 65th birthday started off pretty well. I appreciate I can continue to have good relationship with all of you on this year, too.
