our mini staycation

This week was a holiday in China.  October break is similar to the 4th of July. In addition, China also celebrates Mid-Autumn Festival. And as a result, we got a week off of school!

With the chaos of my knee adventures and the busyness of starting school, Emily and I were both ready for some R&R and some quality time together.

We rented a hotel room for 2 nights, here in Shenyang, where we enjoyed the swimming pool, a nice comfortable bed, bubble baths, sipping hot chocolate on the patio, taking walks (without my knee-brace, whoop, whoop!), western-style breakfasts, lounging in our pajamas, watching movies and eating pizza.  It was a fun and relaxing get-away for a reasonable price. :)  We both could have stayed another day!

I love this little girl!
