Ethan visited the ancient water town of "周庄"

Today we brought Ethan to 周庄. Our first outing trip since we came to Shanghai. 周庄 is one of the tourist attraction nearby Shanghai in JiangSu Province.

This morning Ethan managed to wake up on time for breakfast and bathed before our driver arrived. We headed to our friend's house to pick them up. Two families traveled together.

On our way, there were two accidents happened on the highway which created terrible traffic jam. We arrived at the destination around 11 something in the morning. We had our lunch at one of the restaurant before we entered 周庄.

Even tired but came to staircase still insist wanted to walk and count by himself

The weather was hot and when we wanted to exit the 周庄 we get lost as we could not find the exit and keep asking the people there. Poor daddy had to carry the 11kg toddler - Ethan who would not want to walk no more. Finally we found the exit and went out. Everyone was very tired and wanted to go back home. Ethan slept on our way back home. On our way home, it started to rain. According to the weather forecast, it is the start of the 梅雨 season.
