Chinese Three Day Weekend

So what does one (or 7 families in this case) do in China with a 3-day weekend. Oddly, we do what we might if we were in the states, go to the beach, albeit with a few twists. First we have to get to the beach, called Dong Chong Beach, about 45 miles as the crow flies, but a tad longer as the chinese highway is built. Next, adequate transportation. Can't hop in the car, because we don't have those. Instead, we charter a bus. Next food. We can get it at the beach, because there are restaraunts. Trick is, bring someone who speaks really good chinese (we didn't), or bring a really good chinese dictionary (we did). Next, kiddie entertainment. No problem, we've got water toys and dvd players. Next, adult beverages. Plently. Believe we heard the first one being cracked open on the bus at 9AM. All in all, a recipe for a great weekend. Enjoy the photos below.
