I had a wonderful time in China last week. Highlights include a trip to the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, Tienanmen Square, the Olympic Village, and the wonderful shopping and dining in Beijing.
I also met with four of our second-year students from Pepperdine who are studying in Beijing this fall. They graciously showed me around the city and took me to lunch at this delightful hole-in-the-wall in a hutong (alley). The food was amazing, and I felt so generous when I picked up the entire tab for lunch at 28RMB (about $7). Notice we're all still in our coats because it was about 35 degrees in the restaurant (and about 25 outside!).

The Kirby's came to town for a one-day surfing lesson. We were able to get together with them and the Crowe/Warfords for dinner at a local Indian place. A wonderful evening of fun and fabulous food.

Marcus and I spent the morning making fall-themed play-doh creations before school. Here are two candy corns, a car, bat, turkey, corn, and snowman. While the snowman is not exactly fall themed, it's a mythical creature in LA so we can make it whenever we want.

I was going over Marcus' homework today and found this. In case you can't read it...
"The worst thing about TV is dad is an NFL fan. NO!"
Why am I the only sports-fan in four generations of Williams?
