Another fun filled day, (hmmm, can we go home now?)

Well this is really boot camp parenting. Traveling around the world to meet your daughter and then traveling with your daughter from hotel to hotel and making havoc with their schedules. I think most of us are anxious now to get home. Teresa continues to be awesome and thrill to parent.

The morning was spent vegging out in our rooms until 11:00am. If our guide did not call us then the coast was clear with the U.S. Consulate and our U.S. paperwork from the I-600 party and the medical exam. We used the time wisely and introduced Teresa to Spongebob Squarepants.

At 12:30pm we had a pizza party with pizza, soda, and beer! provided by our wonderful guide Candy. We held it on the 11th floor in the White Swan. It was excellent pizza. After the pizza party Jen and I put Teresa down for a nap and then after she got up we did some more last minute shopping.

At around 5:45pm we gathered to go do the Pearl River dinner boat cruise. It was very nice and it was very cool seeing the lights of Guangzhou from the river. Some of the neon signs are amazing, like the ones where there is basically video being played on the entire side of a high rise. We then came back to crash in our rooms once again exhausted.

Tomorrow we go for the swearing in ceremony at the U.S. Consulate and the red couch photo op.

As a special treat I am posting some photos of Michelle and Kailin (hope I'm spelling that right) for her friends and family to see.

I know you guys must be getting restless and longing for your own beds by now. Jeff and I are looking forward to your visit and hope meatloaf is ok for dinner. Give me a buzz on my cell when you land even if you are early. Hope your last couple of days are wonderful there, enjoy it while it lasts:)))
Love,
Julie
