We're in China!!!!











We made it! We're in China. The flight from D.C. to Beijing was rather empty so I found an empty row in the back and slept several hours straight. It was great. We arrived in Beijing late in the afternoon on Saturday. Our group took a bus to dinner and then most all of us turned in early. After a great night's sleep we had an early start to an action packed day in Beijing. We toured the Forbidden City, Tianamen Square and then hiked the Great Wall of China (Nana too! She did great and went all the way to the fourth watch tower with the rest of the crew.) Words can describe how amazing all of the sights were today but hopefully a few of these pictures will. Absolutely breathtaking and overwhelming!
We had an 8pm flight from Beijing to Nanning tonight. We arrived at the hotel just after midnight. On the bus ride from the airport our guide announced that we will meet our babies at 3:30pm Monday. I am beside myself with excitement as is Nana and the rest of the families. So be ready because the next post will be our long awaited Chandler Elise... WOOHOO!
