Consider yourself warned


There is no such thing as down time if you visit us. After returning home from the cruise we had less than one week to pack full of sightseeing, shopping, restaurant sampling and touring. We had prescription glasses made at Glasses City (a bust), went on a food walk tour of the hutongs (a highlight, at least for me. Dad may beg to differ), toured Lama Temple and the 2008 Olympic sights. Dad received compliments on his chopstick use at a hot pot restaurant which was probably the most unexpected event of the whole trip. Up until 2 years ago he swore he'd never even try Chinese food. The boys loved all of the attention and especially Grandma and Papa picking them up from after school activities. They've been in a funk and crying off and on ever since we took them to the airport yesterday.
