Parents Trip- Around Nanjing

Well I know it has been FOREVER since I blogged. My parents came over Christmas and we had such a great time. They ended up getting moved to first class because the flight was overbooked, and have now decided that that is the way to fly...as long as the airline puts you there and you don't have to pay.
I was able to take them around to the different sites in Nanjing while Jake had class. I had them ride the bus, walk, and take taxis all through Nanjing.Coming down from the top of the city wallAt the Nanjing City Wall

There were a few times in the Taxi that I thought my dad was going to have a heart attack because of the driving but he did great. My mom always sat behind the driver, so she couldn't really see what was going on, which was probably a good thing.

Jake and I also took them to a place call Purple Mountain, that has Sun Yat Sen's tomb and a lot of cool statues.

These next couple of pictures I made us each stand by one of the soldier guys and imitate them.

I think this is their dragon face...my dad was getting a little tired of all my crazy poses I was making them do.
Smile!
