Today is our last day in China and I am full of emotions. I'm so excited to be going home and be with Mike and Zane and start a normal life as a family of four. And I'm a bit sad to leave this amazing country that produced my daughter. This trip has seems long and fast at the same time. It seems so long ago that we were trying to get on the plane in Jacksonville and hit a massive pothole to start our trip and we have had couple other little things go wrong but overall this trip has gone so smoothly. Mia Jade is adjusting so well but I am eager to get her into a normal routine. She's going to be shocked to find that there is not an breakfast buffet with any type a food you could imagine back home!
This morning we packed up then went for a walk to the Lake Park again around the corner from our hotel. We didn't have time to really explore the other day but today we took a few hours to walk around and it was so beautiful. And of course we did not have our camera; not even my iPhone! There were people playing some kind of checkers, playing pingpong, singing karaoke, in little boats, all kinds of activities. I have learned that China has so many beautiful parks because their homes are so small with many people plus there is often no A/C so they come outside. There is also funny exercise equipment that we would not consider exercise. And really no one running/jogging which I thought was interesting. The walk was very beautiful and a nice way to finish our visit. Next up 34 straight hours of travel.
