Last weekend we went to Annapolis to meet some friends. Ken had completed a bike relay race across America with his "Above and beyond cancer" team and it was a great opportunity to spend some time with old friend
Ken's family had driven all the way from Des Moines, Iowa and Christian had joined Ashley and the rest of the support team in Kansas
After some time in the hotel pool we then spent some time on the docks and had dinner with Christian
It was a beautiful evening with a nice breeze and we could watch the boats pasing
At brunch the next morning Mia was delighted to have Hershey on her lap. She had come all the way from Des Moines as well
After that we all headed back to DC and spent some more time with Ashely, her mother, the kids and of course Herseh

Having a good time in Shanghai
With her cousin only nine months older he was a great companion to explore different playgrounds, the zoo and other parts of the city.
One time we even got on a double decker bus
At the zoo Mia finally managed to see a giraffe
One the one rainy day we had Mia played an afternoon with her cousin
At the end it got a bit wild

Lingshan Buddha and temple
There was also a conference center for a Buddha convention and Mia and her cousin checked out the chairs usually reserved for the leadership
The whole room and the building was realy nice
There was also an temple
At the the end it was nice to watch a water show on a hot and steamy day
Shanghai Children's Museum
During our two weeks in Shanghai we also checked out the children museum there. It is not very big and a bit hidden but Mia really enjoyed it. She could be a fireman that needed to answer an emergency call or a musician in a colorful costume
Or in another and another costume
She also took over the veterinarian doctor's office and checked out all the dogs there
Other highlights were a submarine she could explore and a tree house
