We decided to take a weekend trip as a whole family back to Qing Cheng Shan. We went with friends back to the mountain that David and Colt went to a couple months ago. It took us about 4 hours to get there through the standard various forms of transportation here (bus, “fast bus,” fast […]
One of the things that we enjoy about this new culture is how active everyone’s lifestyle is (has to be). You naturally get your walking in each day, but most companies also have morning exercises that they do all together out in front of their business before they open. This is a new business, and […]
After a week of meetings in June we decided to take a week of vaca with friends. It was so nice to rest and enjoy friends! The kids played great together, and just LOVED the beach! Colt caught a bazillion hermit crabs Caden and Kylie could have played all day in the sand and waves […]
