Summer Vacation



The 4th of July is coming up and this is the first time in years that we have made no major plans. On one hand I'm itching to get outta here, on the other, a week at home catching up sounds good too! We might drive to the beach a couple of days, but that's the extent of our vacation this summer. William wants to spend Christmas in Gatlinburg, we'll see about that. Anyways I'm really missing China. Not the long monotonous plane ride.....but the sights, sounds, and yes even the smells. Weird huh? It would be awesome to go back in a few years....maybe a homeland tour with our travel mates (hint, hint) I know we were there for two weeks but at that time it was all about what Sophie needed and touring, well it won't it! I'd like to spend more time in Beijing and Guangzhou. Maybe we'll get to do that when we go back to get Sophie's little brother:)

Okay, first is there something you aren't sharing?? Sophie's little brother - are you guys adopting again?? Do tell!!!

Second, we too miss China. I totally understand what you mean by the sights, sounds, smells. You are right, our trip was so much about the children that I know we missed so much of the culture too. My boys have the opportunity to go back in spring 2010 with their school (the homeschool program through our school district). They are so excited as they have expressed much desire to go back too.

Who knows what is to come huh!

For inquiring minds, the topic is on the table. At times I'm ready to get started right now and others I wonder if I truely have the energy:) But I think we are going to just enjoy 09 without any paperwork and see how 2010 goes!

Please let us in on your plans if you go back to China in a few years. Our experience there was not as wonderful due to AA's disposition, but we do plan on going back with AA. It would be nice to meet up with you there and other travel mates.
Happy 4th!
