We're Here!

We arrived in Beijing just a few hours ago and are headed to bed for a much-needed rest. We flew 18 hours in three different legs and now have about six hours before we need to be at breakfast. We hope to have time to update our blog a bit more tomorrow, but here are a few pictures from earlier today.



Here's a picture when we were leaving Knoxville. We were fresh and well-rested then, and very excited!



These Korean stewardesses had very interesting head decorations. They were made of metal, so they all had to take them off when we went through security.



We sat on the very back row of the airplane for our flight from Chicago to Narita, Japan. Nathan absolutely loved the flying! We were able to sleep 2-3 hours on the 12-hour flight. We had some interesting food to eat, but those pictures haven't been uploaded yet, so that will have to wait for another post.

Hi Seaman Family!

Glad to hear that you arrived in Beijing safely; I enjoyed reading your blog & the pictures. Hopefully, you'll recover from the jetlag quickly and will be enjoying your first day at the Olympics! Have fun!

We just had our own adventure in Florida... tropical storm Fay. No school today, lots of wind and rain, but luckily, not a hurricane.

Take care,
