Ted's China Trip

Since Ted isn't a blogger he gave me permission to post his latest adventure to China.  He went for 12 days and it counted toward a class for his doctorate at Pepperdine.

He had a great time!  His two roommates and him were the class clowns!  I loved getting emails about their funny stories.  His professor kept telling all the Chinese girls that he and his friend were famous americans...they ALL wanted pictures with them!

ENJOY~!

Here is a video of it...or the pictures follow it if you would rather look at those :)




He and his 2 friends hiked to the tallest point of the Great Wall in 45 min.

The top of the wall


I didn't know this but the wall is almost all stairs going up and down mountains! 

Olympic Village
This one is for his sister amanda :)
