Pictures really do speak volumes....
We did so much in Japan, it is impossible to share details about everything -- much easier to just pass on the links to our flickr account (I love flickr). The first link is for our "favorites" the second link is all 500+ photos that we took (having weeded out the bad ones).

I still can't believe how much we were able to pack into one trip. Not only did we see many parts of Tokyo, we spent 3 days in Kyoto, and got to travel to Mount Fuji, all the while enjoying the great company of our friends.
Unfortunately, I think this is the only photo of the four of us.
