Photo Journey Part Three: More Guangzhou

And, our last series of photos for now....
Grace took a photo of Mike. Sorry, Mike... you were the photographer on much of this trip seeing as though I had a 3-year-old attached to me. I don't have many of you!! I'm sure PapPap has more.

Mommy and Gracelynn leaving KFC. It was a normal KFC... no chicken feet there.

Mommy and Gracelynn awaiting Grace's medical exam. Other than not wanting to stand on the scale and get measured, she did great!

Mike blowing bubbles in the room at the White Swan. Grace loved these! See all the packages in the background... we bought a LOT.

The famous "Red Couch" photo of the little girls from our group. The two to the left (Grace and Hannah) were 3. The others are between 1 and 2 years old.

This is our traveling group from CWA. We all had a great time in China and met some wonderful people! Five new US citizens.

During a visit to a Bonsai Garden (of which Christy and Grace stayed home), Mike found a little piece of color in a very green garden... a lotus flower.

This is a view of the lights along the Pearl River, from the BBQ restaurant at the White Swan Hotel.

This is very typical in China... deliveries made on bicycles. Sometimes the bicycles were carrying 2x as much as seen here. Amazing.

The Guangzhou Opera House, as seen from the dinner cruise ship.

Some carvings on a bamboo plant at the Bonsai Garden. Apparently it was a curse, literally translated as "Big Turtle". ooooh!

Alien eyes? Nope. Phone booths. Unlike America, these are found everywhere!

Mommy and Grace posing on the dog statue. Aunt Tracy, it's not a bulldog, but it's close enough!

Our favorite restaurant in Guangzhou... Lucy's! I think we sat at this table three of the five times we visited.

Lucy's, from outside.

Gracelynn, posing all sweet at the airport on our way home. Yep, she's ours!

Looks like a fabulous trip and Gracelynn is adorable! You just have one more picture to post...one of the 4 kids together to replace the one of just the 3 before Gracelynn arrived.
