Boarding......next stop Beijing!!!

Yes, we were up early this morning leaving a not so happy dog, but excited for our long journey. We arrived at the airport at 6:30 for our first uneventful flight. Brooke, Sophie, and Pam were upgraded to first class, while Doug was in the back with the toilets :) We had a 3 hour layover at the Chicago Airport, where we found some resources to make a sign for Sophie. She is bouncing off the walls with excitement. We took a quick family picture before boarding the plane for Beijing. We will have more updates when we get there and maybe some interesting stories.
