Another Day Closer to Sophia

Today we spent time touring in Beijing. It was cold and we spent a couple hours outside, so that was a little rough, but we made it. We started at Tian'anmen Square and the Forbidden City. Then we checked out a pearl factory and a silk factory. Interesting stuff. We also went to the Summer Palace, the Water Cube, and the Bird's Nest (2008 Olympics), and ate Chinese food twice. We are tired and not hungry (the kids each found things they liked!) and can't wait to get Sophia. It is Saturday night and we have until Monday. Currently we are all ready to collapse in our rooms, but we are trying to hold out until 9pm.

We have enjoyed getting to know the other families we are travelling about with. We all have different stories and different kidswe are going to get, but we all can't wait til Monday! Well, we all can't wait until bedtime though too.
