fun times with family






Nate's family was just here visiting. I met Nate in Beijing on June 28th. We then waited at the Starbucks in the airport for his family to arrive. We spent a few days in Beijing seeing the sites. We had a ton of fun, although it rained on us almost the whole time. Our last day in Beijing was hot and sunny, so we spent the afternoon at the hotel pool before going to the airport.
We had fun going to different places in Chengdu. We had a few really hot and humid days, but the weather was pretty good other than that.
Here is a list of everything we did....
