The Willinghams: Made it

3.26.2015

Made it

We are here! After a loooong and fairly uneventful day of travel we got in to our hotel here in Beijing at 10 last night. I was too wiped to try to figure out wifi so I'm posting from breakfast. Sleep was pretty fitful last night so hopefully after a day of touring Beijing we can adjust to the time change. I'll write more tonight when we have more time but for now thank you all for praying! We are much closer to Noah now!

I'll get pictures up later too...
