You are going to have an amazing trip (of course! Since you will be getting your boy!) How cool that you will see the Terra Cotta Warriors. Can you believe it is finally almost here?
Wow! What a dream come true!
Do you plan on blogging while in China?
Yes we will blog in China.
WOW, what an itinerary! Oct 4th looks like a doozy - any time in there for a nap and a foot massage before gotcha??
Can't wait for y'all to get there though to see all of this in person and finally scoop up your little one in your arms.
