~Our Trip To China~ Guangzhou

            Our time in Guangzhou was so special. After being there three times ( my parents four ) it really did feel like home! We stayed a The White Swan hotel which is the place we always stayed at for all the trips. The sad part is that we think we might have been some of the last adoption family's to stay there. They were planing to shut down the hotel for a period ( almost a year and a half ) of  much needed remodeling. Most of the adopted family don't stay there or they stay off the island. It has become cheeper to stay off the island, but for us it would not be the same. Plus by the time we got to Guangzhou we were so ready to come home, and it was so nice to be there! Our home away from home. So many precious memories there! Which of course made us miss those we left behind even more! 


I hope you enjoy the pictures!
