Hello Everyone!!! We made it to Beijing safe and sound and now we're just a few hours from our little girl!! But, we failed to take pictures of our travel day... sigh!
The weather is cold and rainy and the forecast is for snow as we travel to the Great Wall tomorrow - yikes! Meanwhile, please enjoy these photos of our trip to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City...

Now here's a photo of the most famous tree in China... the "Love Tree." They say that having your picture taken here with your loved one ensures your love together in this life and the next!...

And in this one we're posing with our nephew, Dylan's, school project, "Flat Stanley" in the Emperor's Gardens within the Forbidden City...
