A "light" day in Tokyo

So after a bit of drama this morning, I'm happy to report that all are together, happy, and healthy.  I thought spending most of the day until dinner in one area of Tokyo (Ueno) hitting the National Museum, Ameyayoko-cho and the zoo would be less strenuous, but we managed to break yesterday's 20,000 steps with a new 21,000 steps record.  Another 10 miles of walking, which makes sense considering we walked around a museum, shopping district, and zoo.  We then ate a really quick dinner and were off again to catch our Tokyo Sky Tree reservations.  It was an incredibly windy day and the Sky Tree was closed all day and just opened around our 7:00 reservation.  Considering it was supposed to rain most of the day and it was questionable that we could even go up the Sky Tree, I'd say my reputation as "hare otoko" (fair weather man) remains intact.

Here are some photo highlights.
