As you can probably tell we really enjoyed our time at the beach. But the boys began to feel ready to get back to their home in China. (Josh even had dreams about his favorite Chinese breakfast food - er kuai pronounced "r-kwhy.") Swimming and the monkeys were big favorites; and we also enjoyed having McDonald's, brick oven pizza, Slurpees from 7Eleven, and the delicious Thai food at a restaurant outside our gate (also their fruit shakes). We continued to play cards to pass the time until food came. And we watched way more natural disasters and airplane crashes on Discovery Channel and National Geographic than we thought could actually happen. There were also a few fun movies on; particularly "The Pink Panther," which the boys loved. One special surprise from this trip, was that the boys' first grade teacher, her husband, and adopted daughters were vacationing at the same hotel that we were. It was nice to catch up and share stories, especially since we moved away right after Tim finished second grade. My favorite thing from our vacation (other than hanging out with my guys) was walking on the beach collecting shells. Being alone with my thoughts and the beauty all around was a treat.
Good-bye to the monkeys
