They're at it again...

Mom and Dad set their sites on China as the next installment in their adventures. Mom bought some text messages and is sending me updates, which I'm supposed to share with "everybody." I have been forwarding updates to sisters and aunts and cousins, but I thought a blog post might do more justice.

Stay tuned... there are many adventures ahead for them in this trip.
