Hi everyone. So first off, Jack had his first flight last night...from Nanjing to Guangzhou. And to be honest, it was pretty horrible. He missed his nap during the day and was WAY overtired so he just couldn't sit still. I felt horrible for Lori because she felt like she went through 10 rounds with a heavyweight! He wasn't crying or screaming...just really hyper. And it was only a 2-hour flight! We could be in trouble for our 2-day trip home!
Anyway, now we're in Guangzhou which we already like SO much better than Nanjing. The hotel is beautiful (there's a Starbucks on the first floor!) but more importantly, we're with other families. We definitely felt kind of alone and isolated in Nanjing. We also met back up with friends that we originally met in Hong Kong. So it's much more fun now, and it reminded us of our incredible travel group that we had 7 years ago when we got Avery.
Jack and Avery were also both awesome today. I think we're all just feeling more relaxed. We had Jack's required medical exam (hated it) then got ice cream (loved it). See pix below. I even took Avery swimming and NO swimming caps were required! Good times!
After that we had a delicious family style Chinese dinner with our travel group.
Tomorrow, we're scheduled for the zoo, Walmart, and believe it or not... a Mexican restaurant.
Love.











Mexican food in China? Hmmm, I wonder if the Chinese food in Mexico is as good as the Mexican food in China?!?
ReplyDeleteYea! At least the first plane ride is over, and you are back with people. We did have a great group 7 years ago. Serena is just like that when she gets too tired. Needless to say she was too tired on our trip home so long ago. Get some benadryl (but try it before hand). Have fun exploring Guangzhou. There is so much we didn't get to see. Coley won't even eat Mexican food when we are out of Texas, so I can't imagine what it will be like in China. Let us know how that turns out. Hang in there!
