We did a bit of poking around this a.m. and hit a dead end in the information we had been pursuing.\u00a0 Not to worry though.\u00a0 Grace was able to watch it all unfold and although it was tough, it was good as she was able to grasp more of what we have been talking about.\u00a0 God does work\u00a0all things for good.<\/p>\n
We really enjoyed our time in Zhongshan, but the ferry ride was really interesting.\u00a0 Samuel was fighting sea sickness (even with the Gravol I gave him), but he’s such a trooper that he managed to doze off for the last half of the trip.\u00a0 I took a bunch of photos through a murky window, but I couldn’t help myself as it was so interesting approaching HK from the water.\u00a0 As we left Zhongshan the water (from the industrial area run off, I’m guessing) was so brown and riddled with bits of garbage.\u00a0 As we entered the waters near HK the water became blue green and clean looking.\u00a0 Such a contrast!\u00a0<\/p>\n
We laughed at the way they managed to cram all of us and our 12 bags plus 9 carry ons into 2 taxis! Saved us money and gave us a laugh too.\u00a0 And yes, we’ve bought some luggage along the way since my initial rejoicing and gloating.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
HK Disneyland is everything good anyone has claimed it was.\u00a0 Our rooms face the ocean and are on top of the hotel.\u00a0 We overlook the lawns, palm trees, pool and the ocean.\u00a0 Absolutely amazing!\u00a0 And our kids?\u00a0 The highlight of the night was finding a real children’s playground outside!\u00a0 They love the excerise areas in China, but they’ve been missing the kiddie playgrounds too.\u00a0 We also ate at the Chef Mickey buffet tonight.\u00a0 So many choices and a chocolate fondue too.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
Tomorrow we play HK tourist.\u00a0 The next day we do Disney.\u00a0<\/p>\n
You can visibly see the kids relaxing.\u00a0 The kids were excited to watch Pleasant Goat in the lobby on the Disney channel and I think it finally hit them that we were in Disney when they began to look around notice all the character themed things. \u00a0i.e. Grace in the guest room hallway: {Gasp!}\u00a0 It’s Cinderella! (on a poster)\u00a0<\/p>\n
It’s been a pressure filled trip in many ways.\u00a0 So many amazing things, but very emotion\u00a0packed\u00a0for everyone too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
