China 2008

Allen and I have been watching all the shows on China, for example, China Wild is an amazing show! Samantha Brown has been traveling in China - we love her! Also Anthony Bourdain has been eating his way through China. We have watched the "bird's nest" stadium and the Olympic pool being built and we are ready for the Olympics to begin. Go team USA! Allen has even sent in contributions to the USA Olympic Team and he has his T-shirt to prove it. We normally are glued to the TV during the Olympics.

Anyway, so we went to China Town this past weekend with Vince and Kayleen on a "stay-cation". This is a vacation in your own city. I highly recommend getting out and visiting where you live. I felt like I had left the country. It was great fun!

We also taught Kayleen and Vince how to use the Metro system as they had not taken it before. They were very impressed. I love the Metro!

We walked through the train station and across the street to Olvera Street and then the next street over is China Town. We had Chinese food for lunch. What a fun way to spend the day!

Vince and Kayleen saw some other things they would like to go to another time - yeah!
