Flight, Food, & Family

 My continuing guest blogger, Hannah (Editor's words)
We headed north of Seattle to the Boeing 787, 777 & 747 Assembly Plant Tour.
Today we left the hotel around 7:30. We woke up early to eat breakfast. Then we drove to the Boeing Factory. We took a tour on the factory. It was really interesting.

We were able to see airplanes under various stages of assembly.  The building has a moving assembly line where it moves a few inches a minute. The planes are all side by side and looks so small in the huge building.
The Boeing building is ginormous! It can fit all of  Disneyland and it's parking put together.
After the tour we went to the research lab and took tests on how the 2 different cabins were. At the end we were supposed to pick someone's seating card and I was chosen to pick and I apparently chose myself. Everyone was laughing. I got a gift card to the Boeing store $15.00.
She got to pick the winner and it was herself!
I learned some new things, like the engines are located on the wings and the wings are filled with fuel.
One plane costs around $350,000,000 and that's without engines and seats.
Engines are an additional $50,000,000
I got some stuff like an airplane wallet, stylist/pen, and some postcards. Next we went out to Z's Burgers. I got a hot dog. It was all cut up and put on to a patty like a burger. It was weird looking.
Then we drove to Vancouver. There was traffic so it took even longer. Once we passed the border there was even more traffic. It took about an 1 hour and 30 min.

Then we finished and got to 3-Goo-Po's house. We were so happy to finally get here.
I really wanted to come see the twins ever since I heard that Matthew's cousin, Stacy was pregnant. 
Emily and cousin Bryce connected quickly.

Tate (in the back, Bryce's older brother by 2 minutes) took a while to warm up.
Buddy, a doberman pincher, likes all kids.
We unloaded our things and ate dinner with Auntie Stacy, Uncle Sherman, Uncle Terry, Tate, Bryce, 5- Sook Goong, 5 Sum Po, 3-Goo-Po and 3-Goo-Goong. We had delicious food. It was yummy.
Always a feast at the Tang's.
 Both Bryce and Tate LOVE their grandpa (aka 5-Sook Goong).

 Tate even favors his Goong Goong over everyone, even his parents.
Of course, if your Goong Goong lets you get away with things like using the glass lazy-suzy as a merry go round you'd prefer him too.
Then Dabby, Jj, Uncle Sherman, Auntie Stacy, and I went to the mall to get a SIM card (for my phone). Then we went to the house and went to sleep.
