HOW'S THIS FOR OLYMPIC SPIRIT
Taken in front of the Tianjin Olympic Soccer StadiumWell, we're down to 6 days! YIKES!! We are trying trying in vain to change our hotel rooms in Tianjin, as the ones we have are wicked expensive and are very far away from any of the attractions, has no pool and is NOT kid friendly! It is a business hotel. What a shocker it will be for them to see the Dolan gang arrive!! LOL
I think I've got almost everything together, I am waiting till Friday to pack and lock the luggage. I am saying lock because the big girls will try to wear something out of them!!LOL
We have 3 carry ons that the 6 of us will share for the flights (with games, snacks and books) and the 2 older girls have 1 carry on each to check with their clothes, and Frank and I each have a med suitcase, I'm sharing with Lily and Frank is sharing with Hanlin. Not bad, compared to last time!!
I need a book suggestion... I would like to read something like "Peony in Love" or "Balzac and the little Seamstress"... I would love some suggestions...
We are getting to see lots of things in Tianjin. Including this:
The girls are very excited to go on it...me...not so much!! LOL It goes 120 m in the air! Each "capsule" carries 8 people.We are also taking a boat tour down the Hai River and visiting the Dabeiyuan Monastery.
Now all we need is a place to stay..........hmmm Maybe the monks will have a spare room?
