Christmas in Tokyo - Day Three and heading home

Our last day in Tokyo we ventured out to see the Tokyo Tower which is supposed to be like a mini version of the Eiffel Tower. Unfortunately the upper observation deck (at 819 feet) was closed, so we didn't get the great views we were expecting. We got to see views from the middle observation deck (490 feet) though. The Tower itself is 1,092 feet high.

Since we didn't get to see the views from the top of Tokyo Tower, we went to nearby Mori Tower (781 feet high). This one went up 52 floors and had great views! At the base of the building they had a giant spider sculpture so we had to get pictures!

At the end of the observation deck, there was this cool Nano display!


There was also this funky photo op on the floor that we couldn't pass up!
TIRED!

The next morning we had to be up early to get on a bus for a 2 hour ride to the airport. The boys were tired!! Then on our plane, we discovered that the flight attendant who enjoyed Gavin's company on the way to Tokyo was accompanying us back to Guam! So she took Gavin to the back of the plane to visit with other crew members and he had a great time!!
Favorite flight attendant!
