i'm still avoiding going through 650 pictures. check back.
to recap, we had an absolutely wonderful time. we stayed in the corporate apartment owned by the company that josh works for, and it was spacious and beautiful. the weather was perfect...sunny and in the low 70s. we didn't do any adventurous eating, which is sad, but it was necessary considering that we had two small children to keep fed/satisfied.
we toured the mutianyu portion of the great wall, tienanmen square, the forbidden city, and beijing zoo...in two days. we are exhausted, but it is well worth it. this trip alone makes this move to hong kong make sense. this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and one that we would most likely never have done from the u.s. my only regret, and it's a small one, is that the kids are so very young that they most likely won't remember this trip. we look forward to telling them about it and showing them pictures to remind them.
speaking of pictures....i will post some soon...check back in a week or so...seriously, it's going to take me that long to go through them.
I think you'll be surprised at how much they'll remember. :-) John still talks about "sliding down the Great Wall on the silver slide." Talk about it a lot, show them the pictures all the time, and don't give them a chance to forget. So glad y'all had a great time!
