Happy Thanksgiving!

Best to all of our family and friends at home for a wonderful Thanksgiving. We were really missing home today. Made it safely to Beijing, we are at the Holiday Inn downtown, nice but NOT the White Swan! They are doing major construction on the hotel in anticipation of the olympics, so the view out our window is of another wall! Our flight was smooth when we finally got off the ground sat for an hour on the plane waiting for air traffic control to give us clearance. Seemed like forever with the kids. The flight was three hours, made it to our hotel at 3pm. We were going to go to the zoo today but opted to do it on sunday as our flight leaves at 5:30pm. Just too tired and hungry after traveling all day.
Had a great buffet dinner here at the hotel, actually had turkey! Not quite like home, but we were happy. they also had really good mashed potatoes, that we heard another American cheering about at the buffet!
Sorry this is such an uneventful post, no pictures today either- but we are touring all day tomorrow, so I am sure there will be lots of great pictures. It is cold here- Megan says "too cold" when we exited the airport- about 30 degrees F. So we will be touring with our hats and mittens on!
More tomorrow-
Love to all of you- eat some apple pie for us!
