We had SO MUCH FUN with them, our new travel buddies! We're already planning our next trip with them!! The 10 days that they were here just zipped by so quickly, but we made such good memories with them, and it was fun to get to know each other as couples!
We went to our fav place to watch American football games: the Big Bamboo. Since the Steelers were playing to seal their place in the Superbowl, it was especially exciting!! We enjoyed a good breakfast and a good game--the Steelers won!! Haha, if you've never had the experience of watching a football game with any of the Martins??? They are a riot! Makes football FUN!! :D
We found a store named for us!!!
Ray was SO GOOD at trying out different kinds of foods!
Sichuan food, although spicy, is SO YUMMY. We were all sweating, crying, and blowing our noses by the end of the meal, but loved every second!! :D
Here is a little maternity photo shoot for your enjoyment of our growing family:
We made Thai food for Ray & Maria at home one night--they were brave enough to humor our attempts! Joe & I loooove Thai food, so it's a frequent style that's cooked in our house. Come and visit to try!! :D
We also went to Pizza Hut to enjoy some good "western" food, which we all need once in awhile. :D
