Stranded in San Francisco

I am exhausted, but apparently it is playtime at 3am in San Francisco.  Our Guangzhou to Beijing flight was perfect, but the Beijing to San Francisco flight was delayed four hours, causing us to spend seven hours at the airport and miss our connection to Austin in San Francisco.  Air China SUCKS.  The flight was too warm, there was no in flight entertainment except for a flickering screen ten rows up, and the food was awful.  The kids were fantastic. 

Quinn slept about 10 hours of the trip and Ty had his best sleep yet, on my lap for about five hours.  When we got to San Francisco, Air China couldn't imagine why so many people were upset.  We got a hotel and meal voucher for the hotel restaurant.  All we want is HOME!  I cried at the ticket counter when the lady said we couldn't make it to Austin until Wednesday, but somehow she managed to make 24 hours late sound like a dream.  We arrive at Austin at 6:45 today, Sunday.  Ty's sleep was very restless here at the hotel.  He woke up for good about 2:30 so we are just watching TV and killing time until we can take the airport shuttle at 6am.  We fly to Los Angeles, then Austin. 

Somehow my amazing daughter manages to entertain herself wherever we go.  She hooked right in with a group of teenagers on a missionary trip and had them all wrapped around her fingers during our layover in Beijing.  The other pic is from the bus ride to the airport in Guangzhou.
