Oh Dalian How I Love Thee

It was a great weekend. And i’m exhausted. I ate entirely too much food, but it was all so delicious. Dalian just might be making it into my top 5 cities of the world. It’s still up for debate. So what did we do? Well, we went for scenic drives through beautiful mountains, we went to a cherry festival, we shopped, we ate, we drank coffee, we took pictures, we had an amazing time!
QiQi, her mom and dad, and Yan were all such great hosts! They took really good care of me. I have a lot of pictures i could show you, but first i want you to see the greatest Starbucks on the planet. It was beautiful. Two stories and inside of an amazing mall.

That sounds fantastic. That Starbucks is pretty incredible looking, as well!
My weekend was pretty awesome. Friends in town. A wedding was celebrated. A good movie watched. Quality time spent. Short on sleep now that it’s Monday morning, but it was so worth it. Coffee helps.

Love You Always!

Dad put up his storage shed- Alan helped him Saturday evening. We went to Laurie Thrailkill’s wedding; Amis & I did the flowers. Actually we did flowers for 2 weddings this weekend- I’m tired too. I love that Starbucks! Looks like it has great atmosphere. Talk later- love you always…
Oh, Meredith, tell me where to go to see some pictures, I know Dianne’s wedding was beautiful.

B, I got up at 11:30 today. I was so exhausted, too. I almost fell asleep during the dinner last night:P. But it’s worthy. I had a great time with you. Now I am expecting to hang out with you again on the other side of the planet in August.:) Isn’t that funny?
