Crowne Plaza Beijing

I love our room.  Really love this room.  Heather, you think my bed is amazing this one is the BOMB!  Plus, I have heard that the rest of the beds on this trip are not so great so I am loving every minute of this one.

Scenes from the plane

The mountains were amazing!

The Big Iron Bird

I have not figured out how to get onto Blogger so I am going to email some pictures. We are here. The trip was wonderful and I am so excited to be here. We are at the Crowne Plaza Airport and a taxi to go to the Philip Hayden Foundation is coming for us at noon.

Korean Air Food

The food was actually really good.  The kids meal was wonderful for Harrison and I must admit....I loved the beautiful ladies walking the isles with bottles of wine.  It was right up my alley :)    Mike chose the Korean meal and I chose the "meat" meal for our first course.  Mine was wonderful.  Mike's...well, not so swift.    We had about 3 meals on the plane.  Just lovely!

This is how we roll

I know...its pretty scary, but it was 15.5 hours just on the first flight.

Locked and Loaded

I know, we packed too much!  The good news is that the biggest bag is all donations.    See ya on the flip side!

My Baby's Room

We used Piper's room as the packing room so now that I have pulled the suitcases out, I can see the finished product. I really like it. It is a tiny room, but once we got everything in it the room seemed to be the perfect size.

The bench and hutch was mine as a little girl and I love that I can give it to Piper. Harrison loved using it and called it his "kitchen," but he agreed to let Piper keep it in her room.

I just bought the ballerina bedskirt yesterday and I love how it looks. My friend from work, Jason, gave me the quilt from his father's business. Isn't it adorable?

I love seeing Piper's picture in the frames. The book next to the frame is so adorable and I had never seen it. It is perfect for Piper.

And the dollhouse....we went with my mom and Jack (Pa) to Disney all the time. The last time was 7 days before she was diagnosed. While we were there, she said she wanted to buy the castle dollhouse for "Baby China." Since we thought we would be back one more time before referral, we waited. After she died, I gave Harrison and Mike a trip to Disney. It was really to force us all to go back as soon as possible and just deal with it. We went and had a wonderful and emotional time. About 3 weeks after we returned a gift arrived from Disney from "Mom." Mike had remembered and had ordered it for me for Piper. The old guys is pretty good some time!

P.S. The little green play table was also mine as a child. The top has the alphabet and cute kiddie pictures on it. I just love it.
