Our China Journey
On September 3, 2003, my Mommy, her friend "Aunt Diney" and My Big Sister, Taylor left Virginia to travel to China and get me. They spent a couple of days in Beijing seeing the sights . . .

The Summer Palace was very beautiful and it was a gorgeous day for our visit. |
Tiananmen Square was awesome! You just can't imagine how big it was from mere pictures. |
. . . then they traveled to Changsha to MEET ME! We did some sightseeing in Changsha . . .

This is some of the beautiful architecture we saw at "The University" where Chairman Mao studied. |
And no trip to Changsha would be complete without seeing a statue of their famous son. |
One of the picturesque gazebos on "The Island". |
Changsha is renowned for its embroidery. Watching these ladies sit and stitch by only the available daylight was incredible! |
. . . before I boarded my first airplane to Guangzhou for saw some more adventures!

The carvings and architecture were amazing! |
At the "Beautiful Mountain", we saw a more casual side of the local population. Yes - they DO wear shorts! |
Guangzhou at night was spectacular! |
And of course, no trip to China is complete without S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G! And Mommy and Aunt Diney had a great time with our friends at "The China Doll". |
