Coming of Age!

This year for Coming of Age day I ventured out to Kamakura with my friend Diane and her family. With all the kids in tow we walked through Kamakura looking for girls dressed up in there beautiful Kimonos. On this day, girls who turn 20 during the year dress up in elaborate kimonos and attend festivities with their family and friends. The girls all had a good time playing in the rocks and running around. They were the center of attraction for some Japanese photographers too. I think it was more the Norwood's kids with the blond hair, but oh well!
