Wednesday February 13th was Josh's 36th birthday. Ronan and I met up with him at The New Sanno Hotel in Tokyo and had a nice dinner. Our friend Rick Cook was able to join us too. Captain Cook was Josh's commander when he was with NMCB 5 in Port Hueneme, California. It was nice to catch up with him.

Thursday was Valentine's Day AND Cindy Ludwig's birthday--Happy Belated Birthday Cindy!

On the 14th, Josh and I took Ronan to the Ueno Zoo in Tokyo.
It was chilly but sunny and most of the animals were out and awake.
Ronan says his favorite thing to see was the tigers.

Hope everyone had a nice Valentine's Day. Cheers--Kristin
