At the airport - off to the US. For Sophia and me - a homecoming full of visits with family and friends. For Myrna, her first time out of Asia. We were in for a fun, yet tiring trip. Myrna was in for a trip of firsts.
Already exhausted and we were only on a layover in Japan.
At the Air and Space Museum in DC. Explaining rocket science to Myrna (and she believed what I said). 
Cool waters.
Myrna and her new friend Eliza Marcus.
Estee - last time we saw her she was an infant, now she is a real person!
the Marcus kids at play.
Nothing like a sunny day at Mount Vernon. Pondering whether I can toss a silver dollar across the Potomac without throwing out my arm.
Myrna's first apple tree. If it wasn't so cold for her (she was frozen at 55 degrees) she would have waited until the blossoms became pickable apples.
The Colegroves, Marge and Homer.

Luz and Fernando in "fockus"
Glamour girl by the river.
Sophia and Samantha. First visit in two years. They grow up so fast....
With Sam and not so little Antonio.
Myna's second wish - to fish in the US.
And she got one. Biggest fish ever hauled out of that little pond.

Third wish, to be like a typical American. We told her all Americans wear glasses like this....
This dude was putting on a show.
Barefoot on a pile of broken glass.
Then he jumped off of a chair.
Tough way to earn a living but I'm sure he clears about $50 a show.
San Diego - the panda and the bamboo.
I see my nephew Elijah wherever I go. Looks like be put on a few lbs.
Spot the monkey
This mouse escaped from the zoo and made it big.
Fourth wish, as far as you know, to go to Disneyland.
Here are Happy and Dopey but where is my brother Grumpy?
Yes, that's the real Pooh.
