Several Silly Soldiers Solumnly Standing Still...still.

Yesterday, March 20th, was a great day.

Why? Well, you see, it was our nephews birthday, my (Shelli) Dads birthday, our friend Tim's (our "team" leader here) birthday, the first day of spring (when you can balance an egg on its tip) and it was our 6th ANNIVERSARY! See...we told you. Its a GREAT DAY!

So, the two families that make up our "team" here in Ch1na decided to take a quick little weekend hop* over to Xi An (pronounced Shee Ahn) for a team retreat, celebrate our anniversary, celebrate Tims birthday and, of course, to see the Terracotta Soldiers. And, boy was it QUICK. We barely had time to sit down and talk. And, we really do have a lot we need to talk about...

But, oh My!!!!!!! The soldiers were SOOOOOOOOO cool. Here are a few pics:







*This is just your friendly jones2ethne blog guilt trip...er, um...I mean, reminder: If you come to visit us in Ch1na, you TOO can take part in seeing some of the "wonders of the world" for DIRT CHEAP! (Well, ok...that plane ticket is pretty expensive, but once you get here...everything is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cheap.)
