Okuma & Hiji Falls

My very first weekend get-a-way after having O.  What a glorious thing it is to have time and space to yourself for a change.  And at the same time... I kinda missed the little tyke.

Our retreat took us to Okuma, a lovely little resort on the Northern end of the island overlooking the East China Sea. There is so much to do there that it's no wonder it is a popular family vacation spot.  Plenty of beaches, go-carts, golf, various sports courts, hiking, etc.  You name it, they probably have it available.  And the little restaurant there has fantastic food at fairly reasonable prices.

O recently disabled the lens of my camera, so I only have a few phone pictures from this excursion.  But honestly, I was too engrossed in getting to know the other PWOC ladies and participating in our activities to really take many pictures anyhow.  Not that I wouldn't love to have some, especially from our amazing race.

After the retreat was over, several of the ladies decided to hike Hiji Falls.  It's the largest waterfall on island.  The path is not incredibly long but there are many, many stairs to climb up and down and also a pretty cool suspended bridge to cross.  Well worth the hike.  It could prove a challenge for little ones, but with some help on the stairs the whole family could enjoy this hike.
