Last Day in China.. A Goodbye...Kids, here we come!!!!!

Today was our last day in Guangzhou and we couldn't think of a better way to spend it than with our friend Judy. We spent the morning and early afternoon at White Cloud Mountain. This is the highest point in Guangzhou which allows for SPECTACULAR views of the city's skyline. You really get a good view of just how big this city is....and let me tell you it's huge. Here's some views from the mountain top.......... (note: the picture of the city is only "one section" of the full panoramic view of the skyline. It spans a full 180 degrees as far as you see when looking down on it)
After spending some time on the mountain top, it was time to return to the base. Judy, Dawn and Lize decided to take a cart down the mountain but I decided to take the Baiyun Cableway down. WOW was that exciting. Here's some pictures of my trip down the mountain......





We were then off to Yuntai Garden Park at the base of the mountain. It's a park covered in beautiful flowers, trees and shrubs. It was a picture perfect day.....













Tomorrow is a day we can hardly wait for, our departure date. We can't wait to get home to hug and kiss our beautiful kids who we've missed so much (Zach, Will and Sofi only a few more hours - remember we arrive at 2:00 PM on Saturday). As we close out this chapter and depart China, we realize that we will always have a connection to the country, the wonderful people and the culture that is China. We thank everyone for your prayers and support!

We know we'll be back but for now we walk away and say goodbye...
