We Made It!!

Well we are a here!! HORRIBLE That is the first word that comes to mind when I think about
that plane ride!! Awful, long, cold, uncomfortable and time warping. It took 12 1/2 hours to get
to Beijing, which after 3 hour we started saying "only 9 1/2 more hours" We left Chicago at 12:33 Pm, when we arrived here in Beijing it was 3:00 pm the next day!! We feel like we have been run over by big yellow buses!!! Tomorrow we will be going to the Forbidden City and the Great wall. I promise to try to get some pictures on the blog after tomorrows outings!! Riley is out cold in his clothes, maybe I'll just leave him there!! We gotta get in bed, just wanted everyone to know we are here safe and sound! Love to everyone, but especially Rorey!! Love you!!

Yay! Isn't that post-flight feeling the worst ever? At least you get a break before your next flight :). Have a good sleep on your slab-o-cement mattress and ENJOY BEIJING! I bet it's gorgeous and comfortable this time of year!
