Mia's first MARTA ride (aka train).
The first of many airplanes
I would like to say this is what we looked like when we arrived, but that would be a big fat lie!
Mia playing with her new buddies!
Mia gets comfortable and finally gets really comfortable!
We had a minor travel delay and finally got to our Hotel in Beijing at 10:00 p.m. Thursday (11 a.m. there). Mia did GREAT on the trip and we are so grateful for the Koren family that sat next to us - they travelled with their four children all under the age of 12! She finally passed out and did manage to sleep for a little over 2 hours. We were so exhausted when we arrived that we all fell asleep at 11:30 p.m. and slept until 5 a.m.! We have just finished a great breakfast and Edwin and Mia are off to an ATM machine.
We head to Xi'an this afternoon which will give us a few days to settle in before we meet Kylee. Tomorrow we plan on doing some sightseeing and checking out some of the historical sites in the oldest City in China, Xi'an.
China is still celebrating Chinese New Year and the fireworks have been nonstop (even as I type).
Love and miss everyone!
Xiexie (Thank you!)
So thrilled you are there! Enjoyed all the photos! Ansley loves looking at all the pictures! We miss you all, and you will be in our prayers every night!
ReplyDeleteRob says "HI"; Ansley says " I miss you, Mia"; Addie is running around with Ansley's bathrobe and saying "NO" and I am saying "You are in our prayers!"
MISS you and can't wait for more updates! Love, THE CRAZY GAUDETTE FAMILY
So exciting! I can't wait until you get to Xian! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulaions on your safe trip! I can't wait to "see" Xian again, even if it is through your eyes! Good luck and safe trip to your daughter's birthplace!

One long trip behind you! The puppies are doing fine. They enjoy their walks in the morning and evening. The best part is Yoda keeps all the young wipper snappers under control. All is fine here, enjoy your time there. -Keith
ReplyDeleteI am so excited that you arrived in China safely! Enjoy Xian- we LOVED it there, it was difficult to say goodbye! Can't wait for your day to be here, enjoy these moments and we'll keep praying!

Glad you all had a safe trip! I am very excited for you and my mom keeps asking about you. Can't wait to see all the new pictures with both sisters!
