A year ago, Nelson and I got dropped off at SFO to travel to China to get our little boy Nathan after having Thanksgiving dinner at his parents house. Can’t believe it has been a year! Time really flies! The picture I took at SFO a year ago.
We took Cathay Pacific to fly from SFO to Hong Kong. Since we had several hours layover in Hong Kong, we decided to take a tour of the city. After touring Hong Kong, we took the flight from Hong Kong to Wuhan City which was about 2 hrs flight. I remember being so tired during the flight. I slept most of the way to Wuhan. When I woke up on the plane, the tray was down and it had food on top. I didn’t realized that the flight attendant had given me food! I don’t think I even ate it. All I wanted to do was sleep.
When we landed in Wuhan and our driver was taking us to our hotel, honestly I was already thinking about going home! Wuhan’s air was so polluted! At first I thought it was fog, but it was pretty much air pollution. It was very dusty. When we toured Wuhan on foot, I remember coughing a lot to clear my throat. The locals living in Wuhan must have very strong lungs!
If Nathan ever wants to visit Wuhan to see where he was from, I guess I would have to go back to Wuhan with him even if it means I would have to endure the air pollution.
Today, we went to Discovery Kingdom (Marine World). During the Fall season, the park is only open from 2pm to 9pm on certain days. We used our Season Passes to get in. Our Season Pass also gives us free parking.
My nieces and I rode a kiddie roller coaster. Too bad Nathan is not tall enough to ride it yet.

After I found a spot to park the stroller at Looney Tunes (where the kiddie rides are located), Nathan decided to fall asleep! 🙂 He took about 30 to 40 mins nap. While he took a nap, my nieces went on the kiddie rides.
After he took his nap, he was wide awake and very curious about the rides all around him
He was very excited to ride the train
The food is very expensive here at Discovery Kingdom. A family pizza meal costs $45!!
After Discovery Kingdom, we ordered pizza at Round Table near our home and ate it back at our house. After dinner, I helped Jeffrey bake brownies because he had BURNT his first batch of brownies days ago. So he needed some help from the master baker… me! 🙂

Having apprentice Jeffrey-mon test the brownies to make sure they are not burnt. Rotates the brownie tray so that one side doesn’t get burnt. Then uses a timer so that the brownies don’t get burnt! 🙂
Wow, look at that delicious chewy fudge brownie
