You Know You Had a Great Vacation When...

...you don't find the time to blog, facebook, take photos, or do anything other than relax and spend time with all your favorite people!  I will try to post some of the few photos we took later.

We arrived back in Shanghai yesterday after a pretty uneventful trip.  The only mess up was that we left Eli's very favorite stuffed animal (his lambchop puppet named Babydoll) and very special blanket in the hotel in Newark.  After a few frantic phone calls to the hotel, Babydoll and Blue Blanket were located and will be sent to Grandma and Grandpa who will ship them to us in Shanghai.  Eli has asked about them MANY times, but he seems ok with the explanation that they are going on an extra adventure and will be here soon.  Thank you staff at Newark Airport Marriott for saving the day!

Shanghai is gorgeous today.  Warm and humid, but blue skies and oddly, clean and fresh air.  We've been awake since just before 6 a.m.  Not bad.  Here's hoping the weather stays so nice and we continue to sleep normally.  We left Matthew at the Shanghai airport so he could head off to Bangkok for a few days.  Hopefully we'll all be over our jet lag by the time he gets home. 

We miss all of our Vermont friends and family already, but we are excited for the next part of our adventure.  Ok, there are varying levels of excitement but at least a bit of excitement in all of us.
