40 YEARS!!! Actually yesterday was our 40^th wedding anniversary, but today’s when we decided to celebrate. Maybe this will be the last time we have to delay an anniversary celebration because of one of our school activities.

It’s a little surreal, the thought of spending our anniversary in Beijing. Two years ago, we knew we were headed to Beijing, but had no idea what a great experience it was going to be. As we near the end of our time here, it’s hard to imagine it’s been two years. It’s gone fast, but not nearly as fast as the last forty years. When did we get so old?

We had been trying to figure out where to celebrate, and really couldn’t settle on what to do, or where to go. One of Judy’s friends at school told us about two spots he enjoyed, and we chose the one with the best view. Both were supposed to have great food, but the Park Hyatt China Grill is on the 66^th floor. I’ve always been a sucker for a great view.

The food was great! We had the “meat” plate with potatoes, and finished it off splitting a couple of desserts. The view was great! After two years, it was fun to get above the city, and see many of the places I’ve been traipsing through.
