Happy Chinese New Year! Or is it Happy President’s Day?

Posted in Uncategorized at 11:51 am by Administrator

Just a little Happy New Year’s greeting for anyone celebrating the Chinese New Year from Little Tiger Bear.  He’s all dressed up for the occasion as this year is the year of the tiger.

Isn’t he adorable?  I picked him up from Eva Air.  Aaron agreed that he would be a nice souvenir since this year’s trip was just before the Year of the Tiger.  I’m not really sure how the Chinese calendar works, but I do know that the Jewish calendar also celebrates their New Year at a different time than we do using the Julian calendar.  I believe the Jewish calendar celebrates New Year during the month of Tishri or around September instead of January.  Anyway, I had originally planned to visit Chinatown to see their new year’s festivities, but it turned out they weren’t celebrating it until next week!  Not sure what’s up with that, but maybe it was because Valentines Day and/or the Winter Olympics were opening this weekend as well?  Hmm.  Never heard of stopping the New Year’s celebration like that, but anyway. . .

I think I’m slowly starting to get back into my old rhythm here at home, but before I continue with the travelogue, I thought I’d just post up a couple miscellaneous pics we took on the trip.  I just really like this pic of Aaron, so I just wanted to share it.  I can’t help it,  I’m his biased mom!

Awww, my baby is all growed up. . .

And just having a little fun at the Baiyoke Sky Hotel.

Wow, dig those slippers!  He’s not the only one who can play royalty. . .

Oh my!, definitely something wrong with this picture, ha ha ha!

Okay, enough fooling around for now.  Happy Chinese New Year!  I’ll try to continue with pics from Hidden Valley with my next post.

Happy President’s Day!
