Okuma

After a few days of recovering from the jet-lag, we packed the car and headed north for a mini-vacation. Our first stop was a traditional okinawan soba restaurant known only as "The Big House." After a few wrong turns, we found it.



















Chris and Richard "trying" the soba noodles for their first and only time.



















Next it was off to Okuma Beach on the Northwestern side of the island. We went with one of my partners and his family, the Hoffmanns.

Okuma is a beautiful beach resort with plenty to do (scuba, golf, hiking, jet skiing) Of course it is run by the air force.



















Looking for shells on our own private beach...



















Calm waters at the end of the day were perfect for the kids...
