All Things Joey
This month’s Bokksu box focused on the difference Japanese prefectures… so it was a random assortment of snacks from across all of Japan. The general theme seemed to be citrus flavors.
I can’t say this one was my favorite, but it had a few goodies to enjoy.
This month’s Bokksu is “Kansai Autumn” themed. Ben and Allison ripped through the snacks and offered their opinions. It was another matcha heavy box which yielded mixed results.
Note: Kansai is a region in the south of Honshu, Japan’s main island. In its center is the city of Kyoto, Japan’s capital from 794 to 1869.
I took my son on a long weekend to SeaQuest in Trumbull, CT to have a live sloth experience.
Ben was able to pet and feed Flash the two-toed sloth and watch another one…sleep (lol).
SeaQuest had other fish and animals available for interactions and it was a good time.
We have been subscribing to snack box service Bokksu for a few years and my son recently started taking Japanese lessons so I thought it would be a fun idea for him to do a review video.
The September box had a Mid Autumn festival theme and featured more chocolate and mochi based treats than usual (much to Ben’s chagrin).
We scheduled TWO boating trips during our stay at Lake George this year (book at least a month in advance).
It was fortunate that we did schedule two trips because the first tour had terrible weather. This trip was much better and it gave us a chance to do some cliff jumping.
Captain Joe did a great job and I highly recommend Lake George Island Boat Tours (518-469-8745).
Note: All filming was captured on a GoPro 7
We did it again (and we will do it another time after this).
We rented a pontoon boat on Lake George and had ourselves a little adventure thanks to Lake George Island Boat rentals (shout out to Captain Dave in this video).
The weather on this day was not the best… it was grey and cold… but we made the best of it and had a good time anyway!
