A week away

Hubby and I took a break together. It has been ages since we went for a holiday together alone....the last time we did that was BEFORE I got pregnant......
Rachel was with my parents for that one week, and she totally enjoyed herself. What's not to enjoy.....she was totally pampered for that 6 days!!! Both Grandma and Kung-kung took a week off to "concentrate" on Rachel.... from swimming to playground, music to games with kung kung......

We were in Beijing, and every night, we made sure we call home. Oh yah...kung kung was kind enough to sms us throughout the day about what Rachel's doing......

And from this 1 week away, we realised that she does learn a lot within a week.....

While Rachel was being doted on by her grandparents, we were:

1) Visiting the Forbidden City

2) Having weird food

3) Visiting Forbidden City

4) Enjoying the Summer Palace breeze

4) Looking at why the Temple of Heaven is a big deal....it's definitely a lot of walking though!!!

5) Devouring the oily and tasty Beijing and other provinces food

6) Becoming a true hero by scaling the great wall (this is according to our tour guide BEBE....and mind you, BEBE is a HE!!!!)

7) and also, visiting the places locals stay

All in all, it was an enjoyable trip, albeit missing Rachel so much....
