If you recall my 28th birthday was celebrated the day we arrived in Manila, so this year to celebrate the culmination of surviving a year in the Philippines, my 29th birthday and Thanksgiving all thrown together we went to Beijing.
Starbucks...made in China 
Our hotel and room.
It was a fabulous trip. We decided to forgo a big hotel and stay at http://www.hotelcotecoursl.com/ which is located in a local hutong http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutong As tourists, it gave us a very different view of China!
The hutong we stayed in.
We bought warm chestnuts at the market and it was so cold Holden held them in his hands to keep them warm.

Fruit kabobs for sale on the street
The food we found was delicious from the noodles to the dumplings and pork sandwiches. Holden was on a mission to find a fortune cookie, but we have found that fortune cookies tend to be an American only thing!
