December at Oseto Beach....

Here we are, just a month before our BIG Move around the world…. Andrew has had a couple of weeks off work, in which we ended up filling with movers and appointments and car selling and endless errands… But in-between the crazy, we slipped away for hiking, some food, and a few Family Fun Days- This was one of them…

Oseto was the first beach I had visited here on Kyushu, so its only fitting that it will be my last… Our family has spent a ton of time here, not only in the Summer, but days we needed an escape to the ocean, we wanted to enjoy a sunrise or set- A place to bring friends and chill for the whole afternoon, or even a stop off to swim in the rain after a trip to Tsugane Falls… It was somewhere we washed away the Deployment funk, and we pretended we could see Dads ship in the distance. I feel like I just know his beach, this beach knows us.

Its a small little cove, and not even the prettiest coast around here, but most of the time (if you avoid visiting during Obon) its pretty quiet…. And thats the charm.

Thank you to all of my kids for taking turns with the camera to get some shots of Me + Dad!!!
