Fei and Tony's Ski Trip
Fei and Tony along with some of our friends joined Space City Ski Club for a ski trip in Vail early January. Unfortunately, Fei had to travel to London for company business during that time. Therefore, Tony went alone and enjoyed some great ski.
To make up Fei's missing ski trip, Fei and Tony went to Steamboat in March and had a wonderful time.

Jennifer and Jeff's See-the-World Vacation
Jennifer and Jeff had planned to take some time off to do a little bit traveling to see the world since 2007 and they finally did it in early this year.
Both of them were cool enough by resigning their job (great jobs) and went to South Asia (Thailand, Cambodian and Vietnam) for a 3-month vacation. We enjoyed as much as they were by viewing their vacation pictures online while they were still over there. After that they took another 1-month vacation in Italy. Then they went to northwest of US and Vancouver area for another month to get rid of their vacation bugs.
After all that, they moved to San Francisco to start their new home and started Jeff’s new job. They are happy and enjoy themselves in Oakland, California now.

Theresa and Jason's Summer Visit in Houston
Theresa and Jason were in Houston for the 2008 New Year and started a great new year for all of us.
They also came home for summer vacation. As usual, Theresa and Jason arranged a lot of gatherings and fun activities for everybody. They even initiated a circus show for all the Fong's families. We had 8 adults accompany an only child Tyler (Theresa's nephew) to see the Ringling's Brothers Circus. It has been at lease 20+ years since Fei and I went to circus when Jeff and Jason were still young. It brought back lots of memory and we all had a great fun!

Fei and Tony Visited Theresa and Jason in Vancouver
Fei and Tony finally got a chance to visit Theresa and Jason in Vancouver. This was Fei and Tony's 2nd visit.
Theresa and Jason planned a wonderful schedule for this visit. The activities started right after Theresa and Jason picked Fei and Tony up from the airport.
The 1st stop was visiting Vancouver’s night market. Followed by visiting Theresa’s school, Jason’s church, Mamma Mia movie, Vancouver Aquarium, Suspension Bridge, Richmond Shopping Center, Arcteryx Outlet store, blueberry and blackberry picking, Twelfth Night Shakespeare show, Pacific Institute of Culinary Dinner, plus several wonderful restaurants were just examples of places they planned for us.
It was the most wonderful trip we ever had in Vancouver.
