Beijing Megastructure

This is Pengu Hotel, one of China's first 7 star hotel. I have no idea what the inside of a 7 star hotel look like, but the outside is very impressive. It is also dubbed "The Dragon".

I told the kids my birthday wish was to have our family portrait taken. Got Derek a new Beijing Olympics shirt and we had a few shots with Derek before he went off to play basketball with friends.

Beijing with the kids


We went back to Beijing again this summer for the Beijing Olympics. Both kids got to spend time with their best friends and I volunteered for the Beijing Olympics as a call center supervisor. It was hard work to work 8 hour shifts at the Capital Gymnasium. I was really glad to have worked and contributed to the Beijing Olympics. Also it's good to catch up with old friends.

Animals in our yard

We constantly have moneys in the yard driving the dogs mad. They come in the yard to look for food. We finally discovered that they were going into the garbage can at night, picking through stuff and making a big mess!
