I am over six months behind in getting our photo albums from our travels out - but am working on them as fast as I can to get caught up! So here it goes!
In July 2014 (yes, I know, this is LAST summer) we took our second trip to Beijing. Our first trip had been in November 2009, and left me with a less than favorable opinion of that city. It wasn't so much that I didn't enjoy seeing the sights, but more to do with the fact that November probably wasn't the best time to visit a city located so far north...talk about freezing! Luckily, Nate talked me into going back to visit the cultural hub of China during a warmer time of the year. So glad we did!
A few of the highlights included:
The Great Wall of China! Second time there, and it is still one of my favorite places in the world to see...
Me getting my a** kicked by a bunch of little kids that were running the Great Wall like no big deal...
The food!
Getting to know the locals though photography! Nate and I spent a few hours just hanging out in front of Tiananmen Square people watching. During this time, many people stopped and asked Nate to be in their photos! In return, we asked them to be in ours...

Four and a half years later...so much has changed and so much remains the same. We will definitely be back soon! Click here for our full photo album from our trip to Beijing and here for some of Nate's additional photos from our trip.
