Beijing Day One

What a day!!  We left the hotel around 9am and visited Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven.  It was all amazing.  After such a long wait, it's almost surreal to be here.  Our guide Jennifer is fantastic. We are feeling quite spoiled.

Oh, and we also took in a Chinese Acrobat show. Our seats were in the second row and crazy close to the stage. Honestly one wrong move and we would have been wearing a Chinese Acrobat. That close. The show was fantastic. I was about to fall asleep just before it started but it was just what I needed to get a second wind.
Jon took about 500 pictures (not an exaggeration). It will take us a bit to go through them all and get some uploaded. In the meantime, the picture above was take in The Forbidden City. 

Just a matter of days before a picture of the THREE of us.

Glad you're able to post. We're following you every step - having the itinerary helps. Ivy slept over and slept with LuLu's birthday picture. Mom
