Today is our 8 year anniversay. This morning Chad Skyped me to tell me happy anniversary. For Chad this was pretty impressive, as not only did he remember the day, but he also did it a day earlier since I'm 13 hours behind :) Love you dear, you did good!
We're still on holiday for the week, but was surprised that Susan worked today. We had thought she left for the week to go back to her home. So when she showed up I took advantage of the babysitter and treated myself to a 2 hour massage!!
Then came back and went on a Huangpu River Cruise with 3 other families from Shimao. It was supposed to be a 3 hour tour, but ended up being closer to 4! Thankfully, the kids (all 9 of them!) did really good and kept themselves occupied playing games and entertaining the other passengars :)
The boat left on the Puxi side across the river from us. It was a beautiful and perfect day and we were able to be on the open top the whole time. It started at 2:15 and ended around 6:15 so we were able to see the lights of the city turn on upon our return. We went on the Huangpu River and went until we met with the Yangtze River and then turned back. Brady loved seeing all the huge boats along the way, even a cruise and navy ship!
We then finished the night with a dinner at our favorite BBQ restaurant with our friends and then went home.
Was a great day although Chad wasn't here. Makes it a lot better knowing that we'll see him in 5 days!!!! We can't wait :)

Not exactly sure what are on these boats, but looked different :) LOL

The lighthouse is where they meet. There was a rock line all the way across
