Welcome back! How was your trip?

My husband, three children and my mother and I took a trip to Nagoya with three generations. The first day was spent at LEGOLAND Japan Resort, where we rode the attractions, toured the factory where LEGO bricks are made, and picked out a birthday present for our 7-year-old son.

My husband, three children,    my mother, and I took a trip to Nagoya with three generations. The first day was spent at LEGOLAND Japan Resort, where we rode the attractions, toured the factory where LEGO bricks are made, and picked out a birthday present for our 7-year-old son.

1. It appears that a comma was missing here.
2. Your sentence may be unnecessarily wordy. This word is redundant here, and this is a shorter way of saying it.
3. Add a comma before ''and'' when listing something.
That sounds like a wonderful trip, especially for your son's birthday! Did you all enjoy LEGOLAND Japan Resort? What other activities did you do in Nagoya with your family?

My family all enjoyed LEGOLAND Japan respectively. Unfortunately, my husband had an online meeting at 5:30, so we had to split up for that time. We met up after the meeting, checked into the hotel, and enjoyed drinks at the welcome bar. Then we had Nagoya's famous Miso Nikomi Udon noodles.

自然な表現

Each member of my family enjoyed LEGOLAND Japan respectively. Unfortunately, my husband had an online meeting at 5:30, so we had to split up during that time. We met up after the meeting, checked into the hotel, and enjoyed drinks at the welcome bar. Afterwards, we had Nagoya's famous Miso Nikomi Udon noodles.

1. This is most likely what you wanted to say here. I rephrased your sentence a little bit so that it could make more sense and include more natural phrasing.
2. The word “during” is used to indicate a period or range of time (continuing), within which something happens. So, “during that time” specifically refers to the time period when the husband was in the meeting.
3. The word ''Afterwards'' provides a clearer transition between the two activities.
It sounds like a fun-filled trip with something for everyone! How was the Miso Nikomi Udon noodles? Were there any other highlights from your time in Nagoya?

I visited Nagoya Castle for the first time in 10 years. 10 years ago, due to renovation work, the golden killer whales were displayed on the ground. This time, I was impressed to see it back on the top of the castle tower where it was originally placed.

I visited Nagoya Castle for the first time in 10 years. 10 years ago, due to renovation work, the golden dolphins were displayed on the ground. This time, I was impressed to see them back on the top of the castle tower where they were originally placed.

1. Here is another way you can say this: ''A decade''
2. The golden figures on Nagoya Castle are commonly referred to as dolphins, not killer whales.
3. The pronoun ''them'' is used because it refers to multiple dolphins.
4. Again, ''they were'' is used because it refers to multiple dolphins.
