You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
今日は、妹親子と５人で仙台のアンパンマンミュージアムに行ってきた。
We visited the Sendai Anpanman Children’s Museum with my sister and her daughter.
関東に住んでいれば、横浜のほうが近いけど、新幹線を降りた後に普通電車に乗ったり、都内の混雑の中、子供を連れての移動が大変。一方で、仙台であれば、新幹線で１本。駅からは歩いても行けるので、多少お金が余計にかかってもカンタンだろうと思い、こちらを選択。
While the Yokohama Branch is closer to our homes in the Kanto Region, we opted for the Sendai Branch due to the convenience of traveling there. Taking the Shinkansen directly to the nearest station and the short walk to the Museum outweighed the hassle of navigating the crowded local trains in the metropolitan area. Although the fare to Sendai was a bit higher, it made things much easier for us as parents.
ミュージアムは思っていた以上に狭いながらも、思考を凝らした作りになっていて子供たちは満足できた様子。大人も、現地で牛タンが食べられて満足。牛タンカレーはもういいかなと。やはり牛タンは焼きに限る。
Though the Museum turned out to be smaller than expected, its creative design allowed the children to enjoy the cartoon characters thoroughly. We adults also had a good time and relished the beef tongue for lunch. Personally, I prefer stir-fried beef tongue over the curry with beef tongue.
帰りには、新幹線の連結が見られ、長男だけでなく親戚の子供も大満足の様子。日帰りの小旅行にしてはよかったのではないかと。
On our way back home, we stopped to watch the Shinkansen coupling at the platform. Both our children were thrilled by the sight. Overall, it was an enjoyable day trip for us all.
To be continued.
