Finally...News from China

We made it to China to find that our Ayi did a great job in moving us to a new house. We love our new place because it is in the same complex as our kids friends. Our place is very open and bright which makes it nice to just relax and hang out at home. We never felt that way last year and seemed to always be looking for someplace else to go which in China is never an easy task. This year we just like staying home as much as possible.

Our new place has a patio on the roof. Right now it is a little hot to be up there but it'll be nice in the winter time.

I know this is nothing like the kitchens back home but this is luxery here. I finally have space to move around and actually cook. I've shown my Ayi how to make flour tortillas, fajitas, calzones, and cookies. She's gotten pretty good at it and I actually am spending more time in the kitchen this year.

Our living/family room is large and open. We have great views of the bay. We are right next to Sea World Plaza and the ship in the background is an old ship they have changed into a hotel and restaurants. At night it's all lit up and looks really cool.

We also have a golf course and driving range right behind us. I love the views we have.
