Halong bay & Sleeping

This past weekend Jack, Jeramy and I all went out to Halong Bay for the weekend. It was the most beautiful place we've every been. The mountains and caves were so mystical it's really hard to discribe. We stayed on a gorgous ship (the best looking one I saw anyways) and the crew was so nice and tentative. We ate like Kings and while we ate the crew would entertain Jack for us while we ate.

Jack made a lot of new friends on the ship, especially our tour guide Son (pronouned Soon). Son was really great, he played with Jack and Samatha (Dana's baby girl) on the way down which is a 3 hours bus ride and carried him around on the boat all weekend. I missed getting a picture of him and Jack together before he left on his next tour. Son is going to be a father really soon. He's really hoping for a baby boy (80% boy, 20% girl he said) because it makes his family leneiage go up. Either way he's really excited to be a dad soon. His baby is due in december.

Last night was the Mid-Autumn festival here in VN. It's kind of like Christmas for the local children. They get to stay up late, eat fresh fruit and make very colorful decorations. We were hoping to enjoy the festivity's but Jack fell asleep around 7:30 last night and we didn't want to wake him.

I'm also happy to report he finally has slept through the night since we've had him! Which means Mom and Dad have gotten to sleep through the night also! Yippee! Hopfully this is a good sign of things to come. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

Today we get to pick up Jack's passport and take him for his Visa medical. So we have a pretty action packed Day. Thursday we have his Visa interview, so if all goes well we're hoping to come home a few days early. We really enjoy it here in VN, but I think we're starting to get a little home sick.

Here's another link of pictures from the weekend. I hope everyone is well and hopefully we'll see you all soon!
