Our First Day in Beijing

Our first full day in Beijing was very eventful! Thankfully, it was sunny, however it was EXTREMELY windy and very cold! We toured the Forbidden City, Tieneman Square and the Summer Palace. We also visited a silk factory and learned how silk was made. Of course, I had to buy some traditional outfits for Emily Grace and me! All of the places were very beautiful and centuries old. We had to keep pinching ourselves along with the other members of our group and reminding each other that we were half way around the world! The other members of our group are all very nice and just as excited as us. It is still very surreall that we will meet our baby in less than 48 hours. We have also eaten some very "interesting" meals that all seem to taste like chicken. Ha! Ha! It's 1:00 AM Sunday morning, so I guess we shold get some sleep. We visit The Great Wall later today and will post some pictures as well.
