Slappy Heads Home

 
The morning was spent finding more Japanese delicacies.
Maddie said the food was her favorite part of the trip and the only thing she spent her hard earned money on.
They were not only yummy, but also cute.
 
Back at the airport.
Upon return, she was greeted with her American birthday gifts.  Welcome to adulthood!  We're so proud of you.

Slappy Turns 18!

 
The morning started with mochi donuts and a song in the tour bus.
 
Even though Maddie isn't a donut fan, this mochi version hit the spot.
Also, celebrating your 18th in Tokyo is not bad either.
Tokyo Skytree.
 
Vibes.
 
Meiji Shinto Shrine 
 
The real trees were decked out in celebration of her birthday.
 
A last full day group shot at Tokyo Tower.
 
And a birthday dinner.
