Tiananmen Square and The Forbidden City

 TIANANMEN SQUARE


Tiananmen Square is the large city square in the center of Beijing.

 Since they don't like to show affection in China we wanted to show them how Americans do things ha ha


                                          THE FORBIDDEN CITY


Honestly I wanted my souvenirs to be these cuties but we figured that we'd have problems getting through customs

Beijing continued...

Okay so I know it's been almost a year since I last blogged oh my goodness that's crazy sorry about that. So I figured that I would finish blogging about our trip to China and then play a quick game of catch up with the Babes.
The highlights in Beijing were of course The Great Wall, Tiananman Square, Forbidden city, shopping at the silk market, and summer palace.
THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA



We couldn't believe how many people were there, it was crazy!!!
  What a stud!!! Kyle and his dad hiked on the back side of the wall which was the most difficult. I took the easy route with everyone else.
  I thought that this little boy was so cute and smart by bringing his razor scooter.
 The Great Wall was everything I'd hoped it would be and more. It was truly magnificent and a wonderful experience for me as I hiked and thought about the beauty of China and how privileged I was to be able to experience such an amazing historic treasure.
