Happy Easter and we're off to Beijing . . .

Just wanted to share a few pictures with you. We were in Central the other day and just happened to be heading back to the ferry at my favorite time of day (not) and that's lunchtime!! Hungry office workers trying to find something to eat and maybe run a quick errand before heading back to their offices - a dangerous bunch to contend with. I hold Zoe's hand very tightly walking through this crowd. You can't really make it out, but there's a rather wide street in the middle of the throng.
Guess how old Brad is now - as of February 25 - a big 4-3! Unbelievable. He's holdin' up pretty well, though.
This is what you want to see when you are looking for a taxi - no cue and plenty of red!!!!


Not sure if this is a sign for an American hippie-type wig place or just a simple play on words. We all need some "hair peace" around here with all the pollution and humidty, that's for sure.




We are looking forward to taking off for Beijing on Monday the 24th. It's been the first time we've all been on a holiday since getting back from summer break in August. That's a long time. If you lived here, you'd know just how long it was too.


Everyone we have spoken to that has been to Beijing said that it's really as incredible as you think it will be to stand on the Great Wall. And we hopefully will be doing that on Tuesday. The Kelley family and Retta's parents will be coming in on Thursday afternoon and we are all staying at the same hotel and are going to an acrobat and dinner show Thursday night and then we take off for Hong Kong the next day, so unfortunately we won't be spending very much time together on this trip.


I'll hopefully come backwith some incredible pictures to post so you can share in our trip as well.
