The Japan Earthquake: Evacuation from Chiba

I know that my posts are few and far between.  But here are some pictures that I took while fleeing the Chiba area with family and friends.  We stayed in Yaizu, Shizuoka.  A lovely place, with lovely people.

   Compiled footage of our trip down.  There's a lot of faces in this video, and a lot of good memories to match.

   A collaboration between Shelly (my six year old niece) and I -- Traffic Lights on the way to Shizuoka.  We left the house at 3 or 4am.

    Yaizu Beach.  It was a bit cold and windy... but at least we weren't worried about aftershocks and radiation. 

   Shelly's birthday party.  

   Dilly, in one of his more quiet, caring moments.

   Baby leaning into the car to say her goodbyes.  I left for home several days before Seira & Yosh came back down. 

   The McNairs plus One.  Shout out to all of those who went out of they're way to give us a place to stay and a bed to crash on.  My parents-in law and Robert & Merry...thank you.  So much.

   Elaina, June, and Dilly.  Some of my most favorite people.

   Dan McNair trying his luck at some in-car shooting.  I guess... I was too.

   Yours truly on the return trip.
