Beijing

This was a jam-packed, fun-filled day in Beijing! We started at the Capital Museum and it did not disappoint! We then went to a Pearl Factory and saw and learned about pearls. After the factory we ate a delish lunch and I of course ate too much! We then went to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, SO COOL!!!! This was one of my faves! When were done exploring that huge imperial palace we headed to eat again...so much food! It was a great day and we topped it off with an AMAZING kung fu show! 

Capital Museum

Haha, growing up in Hong Kong firecrackers were everywhere and they always scared her as a child! 

This is a hacky sack sort of thing my Grandma played as a child and everyone in China still plays!!!

I had no idea the pearl came from inside the meat...

Eww

Can you see them?!?!

Gma debating....

Tiananmen Square and the gate into the Forbidden City

This really was such a fantastic trip! I still can't believe I got to be in this awesome place! 

With Mao in the background! 

Getting closer to going through the gate! 

As we are walking through...

Seriously, look at that thing on the pants!!! Its access to the diaper! We saw so many people open it up and let their kids go!!!

Love me some red doors!

Bryan was brave and bought this candied fruit thing to try from a street cart...

...and I ventured too! It was yummy! It was sweet with a little bit softer than an apple type texture
