Let The Games Begin!

Ni-Hao! Yes, East Meets West tonight at the opening of the Beijing Olympic Games! Guess where we'll be? Yep...glued to the tv for the next few weeks! We were in Beijing just 2 years ago prior to getting Katie Mei, and saw many of the same scenes you'll see on NBC's coverage these next few days. Our son Jason has a friend on this years USA swim team. You can read more about him here. Jason was a competitive swimmer back in his elem/middleschool/highschool days and knows Ryan from there. He and Ryan were team mates when they were both named to the U.S. Swimming Florida Zone team representing Florida in the Atlanta Olympic swim venue way back in the day:) They've gone their separate ways since then, but it's always exciting to see and cheer on one of your own in something as big as the Olympic games. AND we have vested interest in the host country to boot! Let the Games begin!! Xie-xie!
