We were lucky to have our friend and bridesmaid Elizabeth DeLion travel all the way from Chicago to celebrate our 2nd anniversary with us in Shanghai this past week. Well, she did stop in Vietnam, Cambodia and Hong Kong on her way here, but we like to think that the highlight of her trip was sitting down with us on July 3rd and watching the wedding video for the first time. Well, first time for her, probably about the 50th time for me and Zach.Elizabeth braved the heat and humidity and hit all the usual Shanghai spots, the museums, the parks, the Bund, and most importantly, the shops and markets! She managed to outfit herself with plenty of new school outfits, just in time for her first day of PT school next month.
We also had fun navigating her through Shanghai Cuisine. Her favorite dish? The famous Shanghai Xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) from Din Tai Feng. We left plenty of comment cards filled with pleas to open an outlet in Chicago.
We braved the rain to snap an evening shot on one of the restaurant rooftops on the Bund.
After almost a week of hanging out with us in Shanghai, Elizabeth moved on to Beijing to check out the Great Wall and other Chinese landmarks. Thanks for making the trip Elizabeth!

Hooray for visitors! Has it really been two years already? (Actually, it has because we were just talking about this at dinner with the sister of the third cousin who got married that same summer). Congrats!
