Gathering at Royu Driveway Last weekend, my husband planned to join the morning gathering at Royu Driveway, so I decided to join him after a long time. Since it was cherry blossom season, my mother-in-law came to our house to help watch the kids while we enjoyed the flowers. This time, there was no accident like “the kids getting sick the day before,” so we were able to participate as planned… but then the weather...

Hakone Turnpike 3rd Challenge! As I mentioned in my previous blog, on Sunday, March 24th, I participated in a driving event hosted by 911DAYS at Fuji Speedway.
