A Random Mix

I've finally been able to post some pictures on the blog. I've included some from our Hong Kong trip and the trip to Hangzhou. We're counting down the days until we come home for our three week break. It's been a long stretch and we're running on fumes right now. We can't wait to be among friends and family. We arrive on February 5th and will be staying until the 22nd. See you soon!

We ate at this restaurant during our tour of West Lake.

Mandy began having flashbacks to high school on our trip to Hangzhou. She wouldn't stop posing for her "senior pictures". Here's an example.

Jenny and I posing with "creepy" Santas in Hangzhou.

Ben, Michael, and Justin working on their own Twelve Days of Christmas.

Before Christmas I brought my 10th graders to Mandy's first grade class and we performed "Taylor's 12 Days of Christmas". Sheer brilliance. You can see my passion for song in this shot.

This is on the south side of Hong Kong.

A view of Hong Kong from The Peak. Incredible.
