It was a picture perfect day, and one of the highlights of our entire trip.

Schools come here in droves for class trips...
The A bomb dome.
One of very few remaining structures left standing after the explosion.
Because the bomb denotated almost right over this building, the outward force of the blast was a key factor in it not being destroyed.

Miyajima Island is a short distance away from Hiroshima, and we headed there in the afternoon. Its large red torii gate is Japans most photographed spot next to Mount Fuji.

Best friends
The last time we were here we walked around and saw alot of this island, much to the childrens dismay. All they wanted to do was play in the sand. So this time, mom and dad went off to explore and that is what they did, build sand castles! They loved it.
