My Parents in China
So, what seems like a long time ago (it was) my parents came over to China to visit! 🙂 I think they had a great time, and I certainly enjoyed having them! I tried to show them what my every day life is like, as oppose to just doing a bunch of touristy things, as such… the photos may not be the most interesting ever, but they’re certainly great memories for me…

First day, and it was a meal in the ‘famous’ “green restaurant” that they’d always heard me talking about. Sorry for the quality of some of these pics — camera phone.

They were also celebrating their anniversary out here – so here they are with some presents and cards.

Part of the entertainment of the holiday, at least for me and my father, was watching the Chinese workers building this park. (which is now finished, by the way — blog post on that soon. Well, when I say soon…you know what I mean.)

The hotel was actually a cool place for shooting photos.

In Chao Yang park — it doesn’t look it, but it was HOT.

Finished the trip to the park with some climbing of the random rock they have there. Good times.

Part 2 soon. No, really! 🙂
