Beijing and Farewell

Last week Grandma D and Aunt Heather stayed in Singapore with the kids while Matt and I enjoyed a quick vacation to Beijing.  We enjoyed ourselves and packed lots of sight seeing into our short trip!

Highlights of our trip...The Forbidden City...

Tianamen Square...

The Great Wall...

A Jade factory...

Olympic village, bird's nest, etc...

Learning about Chinese tea at Dr. Tea...

Over the weekend we had an extra day due to a public holiday (Hari Raya).  We enjoyed spending time with Grandma D and Aunt Heather during their last weekend here.  We went to Mac Ritchie to try to spot some monkey's but there were no monkeys out this weekend :-(

We are sad to bid farewell to Grandma D and Aunt Heather and are very thankful they came to spend time with us.  The Diamond trio will miss you!!!!!!
