Once again it was a wonderful reunion at the airport as Andy's parents arrived for two fabulous weeks in China!! They didn't have much time for jet lag after arriving Wednesday night and leaving for Beijing on Friday with Andy and Kelly. Andy was headed there for the Beijing Marathon (yes the full one this time!)...it was good - running by lots of famous sites, lots of people and running with cramps for 12 miles (I ask again why people do this?!?!). Kelly was the tour guide! Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, the Great Wall, the Olympic village...the hot spots for a weekend in BJ. Back in Shanghai there was the sightseeing (Zhujiajiao water village, Century Park, Pearl Tower, the Bund at night), lots of eating out (Little Sheep hot pot, Johnny Moos, Sherpas order out) and shopping at the fake market (although US border control was quite interested in the Uggs that were being brought back for the grand-daughters and kind enough not to confiscate them!). The best times were had simply being together - going for walks, having lunch at school with the little girls, trying out bubble tea, watching our latest favorite TV series "White Collar", and playing cards. How good it is to be with family, to share our world with them and spend time with the ones you love! Dropping them off at the airport is another reminder of what we truly miss about back home!
