We decided to take Juliet and Lillie to Hangzhou for New Year's. Hangzhou is a city about 2 hours by car from Shanghai. It was dubbed by Marco Polo 7 centuries ago as the most splendid city in the world. We figured if it was good enough for the guy who invented that great swimming pool game we all played as kids then it was good enough for us.
Here's a photo collection of our few days:

Here are the three lovely Richardson gals trying to keep each other warm:
It was nice to see a sunset not shrouded in smog:
On the lake outside our hotel they had a water and light show ala the Belaggio in Las Vegas:
Here's a pic of the man-made bird's nest that housed the bird that crapped on Scott:
Who says you have to go to a college football game to see the Goodyear Blimp on New Year's Day ... a little glimpse of home that brought tears to our eyes:
