Bubby in HK

Bubby (AKA Tamara's Dad) came to Hong Kong!

The Bub, as the kids call him, had never been to Asia, and as such was excited at the opportunity to see and explore Hong Kong.  He was able to stay with us for three weeks!  Enough time to get over the jetlag and fully switch to Hong Kong time, before returning home!  

We arranged for his arrival to line up with Logan and Krystin's return from France.  The kids landed in the morning, and Bub arrived in the evening.  They are so incredibly busy with school and other activities this was the best chance to spend some time with them, as they had a week off upon their return!  

Highlights from the Bubby Adventures in HK:

In NO particular order, as they got all mixed up...

Kids at the airport, waiting to welcome the Bub!
Not sure why Todd is waiting for Nixon? HA HA....

Shuttle bus ride from the flat, many adventures on this!

All these adventures, well and a slight misstep while walking the doggies,
necessitated some authentic Chinese pain remedy!  Success!

3 weeks - Poof!  Gone in a blink and a wiggle, but the memories will last forever!

Bubby even got a friend for Bully to take home with him!


Until next time!
