Hong Kong

There aren't pictures right now from Wednesday, but some will be coming once I upload pics from my phone. We packed up, did some shopping, and checked out at 2:30. A quick stop at the consulate to pick up Tessa's package for immigration, and we were on our way. We were at the train station by 4, and left on the train by 5pm. We ended up in a completely illegal taxi, but made it to our hotel by 8pm. We are at the JW Marriott, and it is gorgeous! It's just as nice, if not nicer than the one in Beijing.

Check out the view from our window. Not too bad!

This morning we walked through Hong Kong Park on our way to the Peak tram. This is by far the funniest picture from the day. Although it doesn't look like it here, Tessa loved riding on Eric's back.
We could see our destination through the trees.
We passed a pond on the way.




Her brow furrows when she is concentrating.




We had an early lunch snack at Bubba Gump's, and she loved Eric's blueberry smoothie!

There were footprints pointing different directions. We were only 12,979 kilometers from New York:-)



This little girl loves to give kisses. And this picture melts my heart a million times over. I've waited over half my life for this!

(She's learned to kiss, wave bye, and high five in the week and a half we've had her!)




You can see where we ate, it's the restaurant under the viewing deck.
The red neon sign is Bubba Gump's.

Pictures not making the photo album.
She was over having her picture taken!
Time to go back down.
We went back to Hong Kong park and found the playground. This slide was awesome, and Tessa LOVED it. She is scared of nothing!
We don't think she'd been in a swing before. She laughed hysterically, and couldn't stop. When she sees the playset in her back yard, she is gonna flip.

There was also an aviary in the park. Which was quite cool in the middle of the city.

You can see Tessa trying to climb off Eric's shoulders to get to the birds!
She usually covers his eyes:-)



She enjoyed a nice stroll home. Stopping at every fountain, and anything else of interest. She knew nap time was coming, so she took her time.
Touching every fence post.
We enjoyed these statues in front of a nearby hotel.


Tessa took a nice long nap, and I got all caught up on blogging. I'm getting ready to shut down the computer and pack it away. We have to get up at 5am to get ready, packed, and eat breakfast- then leave by 7am for the airport. We should be checked in by 8 am for our 11am flight. Can't wait to see our boys tomorrow!!!

We wake up to start our travels at what will be 4pm Thursday evening for everyone back home. Please pray for smooth and safe travels!

Goodnight from across the world, for the last time!!!!!!!
