Beijing




After a very long flight we made it to Beijing. On the flight over we met some other families that were also on their way to China to adopt their children. Lots of joy and excitement the flight.

Upon arriving in China, the Minks hooked us up with their facilitator Richard Li. He was kind enough to pick us up from the airport, take us to our hotel and out to a great Duck Dinner. (Who knew I liked Duck!)

We are staying at the Grand Hyatt Bejing. It is a beautiful hotel and a great place to relax before we meet Alisha. Today, we met up with Richard again and drove us out to the Great Wall. What an amazing sight to see! We definitely could have used a few more days on the stepmaster at the gym.

We are really enjoying our time in Beijing but can't wait until Monday.

P.S. Happy Birthday Mitchell.

The two of you look terrific - Glad you are having a good time and unwinding after your long trip.

Have a good time and try to get in another duck dinner (you're right-who knew you would like it)

Love,
