Travel Plans

I have made a couple maps to show you where we have been (blue markers) and where we are headed (green markers) for your viewing pleasure.  I have separated our travels into 2 maps--one of China and Thailand and the other of Europe.  I have also posted a fairly detailed itinerary of what we'll be doing....we think it's final.

So we saw you mom yesterday and she said we needed to post to your blog. We have been lame at keeping in touch, but I will say that Aubrey "blog surfs" all the time and your's is a favorite. She studies all the pictures and then asks a million (literally)questions about China. It looks like your two are having a blast. What a great experience. Merry Christmas
