Shanghai (Days and) Nights

We've returned from our visit to Shanghai!  We had an awesome time and visit with friends.  Since we arrived on Friday, Morgan's actual birthday, we did a little bit of celebrating.  She and her best friend Emily had their nails done that afternoon.  (No black polish this time!!)  Both girls chose cute heart and cherry designs.  Then we headed off for dinner at one of our favorite hang outs, Blue Frog.  We met up with more friends and even had cake for our birthday girl.  We even caught up with our driver, Mr. Yu.  He was happy to see us, but mostly the girls.  Molly made him smile when she went to him willingly for a hug.  

Saturday, it was time for the big girls to hit the spa.  Me and 2 friends had our nails done in preparation for our Big night out.  (More pictures and details to follow.)  We did a bit of shopping at the fake market before heading home to get ready for the ball.  

Sunday, we were invited to a BBQ at our friend's home and it was a really nice, relaxing day.  Morgan and Emily went for a swim that evening and all kids were in bed early that night.  Which made for the perfect excuse for the guys to shoot some pool at the pub and the girls to hang out and chat.    

Before heading off for the airport today, my friends and I did a little more shopping (we couldn't get in for a massage, so it was the next best thing.)  We had a really great visit and we hope to return again soon.  Likewise we hope our Shanghai friends will visit us in Seoul too.
