Actually yesterday was our 40<sup>th<\/sup> wedding anniversary, but today\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s 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\u2019s hard to imagine it\u2019s been two years. It\u2019s gone fast, but not nearly as fast as the last forty years. When did we get so old?<\/p>\n<p>We had been trying to figure out where to celebrate, and really couldn\u2019t settle on what to do, or where to go. One of Judy\u2019s 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<sup>th<\/sup> floor. I\u2019ve always been a sucker for a great view.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_3058.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3307\" src=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_3058-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3058\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_3058-224x300.jpg 224w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_3058-765x1024.jpg 765w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_3058-624x835.jpg 624w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_3058.jpg 1936w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_3057.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3306\" src=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_3057-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3057\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_3057-300x224.jpg 300w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_3057-1024x765.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_3057-624x466.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_3056.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3305\" src=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_3056-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3056\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_3056-300x224.jpg 300w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_3056-1024x765.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_3056-624x466.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_3055.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3304\" src=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_3055-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3055\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_3055-300x224.jpg 300w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_3055-1024x765.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_3055-624x466.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The food was great!
