Cuddling with mommy/Playing with daddy at 6:30 am (That's when Jada gets up usually!) before our big trek up The Great Wall.

What a wonderful 1st day in Beijing!!! The weather was perfect...the sky so amazingly blue!!! We were really expecting it to be smoggier. They say October is a good time to visit China, and I can see why. There are so many tourists here right now... The Great Wall was super busy!! Visited a jade factory and a silk factory and went for a group lunch. Also bought a few things along the way. An early medical appointment tomorrow. We need to be down in the lobby at 7:40am. Plan on doing some more shopping tomorrow!!!
