What a great day!!!! We did alot of site seeing but it was so much fun. We climbed the Great Wall (David climbed higher than us...........
We visited the Olympic Park..............
It was a beautiful day. Scott was wearing a hat so the peddlers would stop asking him if he wanted to buy one. They are very persistant. So he finally took his out and put it on!!!
This was a old beautiful tree at The Forbidden City!!!!
More Forbidden City!!!
The families we are traveling with are wonderful. We had lunch today at a Chinese Restaurant. It was interesting but we all ate something!!! Tomorrow we fly to Guangzhou. Its only a 2 hour flight!!! And on Monday we meet Sierra. I can't believe we are this close to finally putting our arms around her!!!
Thanks for all your comments. This is a trip of a lifetime and we are trying to get the most out of it!!!!

Ni Hao from Virginia!
Remember if you are buying any souvenirs to haggle, haggle, haggle! You can't be a "gweilo" if you have a Chinese daughter! :->
Seriously, be very careful of your purses and wallets whenever you are out sightseeing or shopping. Pickpockets are everywhere in China!
Good luck!
Pictures are super. It's great being able to read your blog and keep up with what point you are at in this exciting journey. We are so excited and can't want to see photos of you and Sierra together. Soon!! Emma & Lucy say HI. They miss you and can't wait to see their new sister.
I love the pictures! It sounds like you had another great day. It's amazing to think that within 48 hours you will meet Sierra, after having spent so much time waiting! It will be a precious moment - one that will last a lifetime. Thanks for including us in the journey !
