Back from China!

Currently blogging from my bed!  Nick’s about to fall asleep and I’m wide awake.  That’s jet lag for you. I had planned on posting a blog or 2 while in China, not realizing that wordpress was blocked!  As was Facebook, Twitter and other blogs!  Geez, China!  What gives?  I guess there are ways around it,

Everything you need to know about China can be learned from Jack Black, Angelina Jolie and an overweight puppy (yes yes, he’s just big boned).  But seriously,

iFly

Last Friday we celebrated a belated anniversary – well, that’s what we called it. We went to iFlySF, an indoor skydiving facility.  It’s a large fan + clear tube.  You watch a little training video and then get all suited up.  You head into the wind tunnel with your instructor and fly!  Very fun and

We found an INCREDIBLE deal and couldn’t pass up 8 days in China.  I mean, the Great Wall is suppose to be cool, right? We are (fortunately or unfortunately) headed there in the dead of winter (January).  Nick

Yep, I’ve been dark for a few days. We were in New York. Nick had work so I tagged along. I’ll post a bit more next week. But for now, a lovely Instagram photo – I swear sometimes those pics turn out better than the ones from my nice camera. Oh well.
