A Big Day Out

Yesterday was a big day out for the family.  We went to the Hunan Provincial Museum to see the history of the area.  There we saw some of the silk and embroidery work that is over 2,000 years old.  There is also a mummy from that time period that is on display.  It is a little weird to see, as she still has her hair, skin, and muscle mass so she looks like someone that has spent to much time in a bathtub.
 
Hope was so good yesterday.  She made it through the day with no fussing, and enjoyed being out and about.  She is eating really well, and better yet sleeping better than we are.  She enjoys spending time with us and likes to be in the action... as the one picture shows her helping me check e-mail.  She also has a unique way of asking for more food - sticking out her tongue and cooing until she gets it.
 
Today we are going to venture out again with Anna to the embroidery factory and museum.  Should be a good day out with some more interaction with others as well as experiencing the locals.  It has been amazing how polite and respectful the people are here.
