Tokyo Day 2 - Sky tree and Pokemon center

This was supposed to be our relaxing day, calling it that might be a stretch :).   We started out the day with buffet breakfast at the hotel.  This was Brandon's only request for the trip, since he's such a good sport on letting me pick the 99% of our other activities, he got his wish.  

We set out earlier than we planned because Brock was awake earlier than we would have liked.  We made it to the Tokyo Sky tree around 9 am.  We attempted to pre-buy our tickets for this, but you have to use a Japanese credit card, and our Japanese friend looked online for me and let me know that they were already sold out.  We knew that we could go day of to get tickets though, so that's what we were planning.  So, we get there around 9 and go through a quickly moving line to get a ticket  that says we can come back between 12:30 -1:00 to get in line to buy an actual ticket.  


 I had to lay down on the ground to get this picture.  

 There is a large mall area and a food court, so we grabbed a quick lunch there.  It was of course, super busy.  Brock had fallen asleep in his stroller, so we held a table while Brandon and Reagan got a random lunch for us. I say random, because they went to the closest stall with the shortest line and got a variety of things to try.

Here they are ordering.

I have no idea what we were laughing at, but even Brock is smiling so it must have been good.

Tokyo amazes me.

 Reagan is standing on the glass floor.  You could see the streets below.

Reagan in front of the Pokemon store.  This might have been the only time we were lucky on the crowds.  They apparently just released a new Pokemon game a couple of weeks before our trip.  Notice the cones that were used for crowd control.  Luckily we were able to go right into the store without waiting.

Reagan with her basket of goodies.  Brandon and Brock waited outside and we tried to be quick, but Reagan is indecisive and these are important decisions to her.  It was agonizing, but she finally settled on these items.

This is going to sound crazy, but I stumbled across the fact that there was a Wendy's in Tokyo and it was only 1 subway stop from our hotel.  So, that's where we headed for dinner.  It's nuts to be in Tokyo and seek out an American fast food place, right?  Not to us!  Brandon declared it the best Wendy's hamburger he's ever had in his life.  I had chili and a baked potato.  The chili was amazing.  Reagan was bummed that they didn't have chicken nuggets, but a frosty fixed her right up.    It's the little things...
